Silas first school performance: The Luau!!!

Okay ...
   This thing was a damned HOOT!!!!
   Each classroom had its own matching Hawaiian shirts and the girls in the older grades wore dresses.  The teachers matched their respective students.
   Add a Hawaiian woman with her ukulele and the music teacher at Briarcrest ... amongst parents, their siblings, and pals in the audience ... and you get quite the fun filled night.
  One older kid, while performing his hand movements during his performance, fell off the back of the stage ... only to pop RIGHT back up like he was in a skit straight out of SNL.
   The kids, at one point, got WAYYYYYYY ahead of the pianist and the music teacher.  A few parents that have kids in Silas' class were all sitting near one another.  It was enough to put us all on the floor in hysterics.
   We were even MORE IMPRESSED by several older women that dressed in strapless halter tops and performed their own dance.  The dance was beautiful.  However, we were all sitting there waiting for a wardrobe malfunction during some of the more "active" moves in their lively performance!  We were all damning ourselves for not having better "zoom lenses" on our phones/cameras for this ...
   At the end, all the adorable little ones came out on stage ... piling on top of one another ... to sing their final song.  The "Hawaiian 12 Days of Christmas."  No one could understand a DAMNED THING that they were singing.  That is, until they got to the number 5.  At this point, they were all on the same page and they SCREAMED (with the faces of Linda Blair of Exorcist fame):  "FIVE BIG FAT PIGGGGSSSSSSS!!!!!!"  They were very serious and committed to that portion of the song.  We, as parents in the audience, were committed to NOT urinating in our chairs from laughter.  The more they did it (as they counted down) the more we were in hysterics, as they just kept getting louder and louder and ignoring all direction from the music teacher.
   All in all, a fabulous evening full of such amazing and talented little kiddos.

p.s. I would have posted pics of Silas on stage, but there was a bum-rush of crazy parents taking pics that blocked everyone else's view behind them.  The rest of us sat in our chairs and decided to let the "mature" parents fight it out.
