Our High School concert was postponed from before Christmas to tonight because of bad weather on the original date. I think this is the first time that I can remember that it actually had to be postponed. I’ve been to concerts where it’s snowing so much outside that they cut out about half the songs, but never postpone it until January. But you know what? It was still really nice. I think because it was after Christmas they didn’t have the crowd that they usually get. Usually they have the gym filled with parents, grandparents, and anyone looking to get in the Christmas mood. But with the Christmas songs and music playing, it was almost nicer than having it before. I found myself in the other years thinking about everything that I need t do yet when the music was playing. I would be thinking about cooking and shopping and everything else the season brings. But when it’s after Christmas, you can just sit back and enjoy it.
This year we also had something kind of special for us. We had both boys with us. So the tradition is to invite all the alumni to sing with the kids one song. And as the guys were getting up and heading to the gym floor, not ONE of them turned around to see if I was coming too. See it’s a joke in our house. I am a terrible singer, so I’m sure glad that they got Daryl’s talent and not my lack of it! And it’s funny, because when the music instructor is asking for the others to join the students, they never have to ask twice. I think the invited guests not only like to sing with the kids but also look forward for the chance. What did I like the best about it? I just liked seeing all the Kuehner guys on stage having a good time.
