Argh! I had to sit through a stupid middle school Christmas chorus concert today. I really think that our school needs to invest a bit more in the music program. A good place to start would be hiring a chorus teacher with a brain. This woman had all of the kids wear black and white. Perhaps she should have called the program "A Very Generic Christmas." She should have been more specific...If they had all been wearing, let's say black pants and white turtlenecks, they would have looked good. As it was, most of the kids looked rather scruffy. THEN...this ignorant woman introduces a song and says that venite adoremus dominum means joy to the world. IT DOES NOT!! It means Come let us adore him! Stupid bitch, keep your ignorance to yourself. To add to the horror, she couldn't even keep the kids from going flat by the end of every song. I'm sure that those kids (mine is one of them) could have looked and sounded good if they had a decent teacher. As it was, it was sheer torture! Yes...I'm highly critical. I know. But if you're not going to do something well, I really don't think you should be doing it at all!
Oooo...let's not forget the other horror of all school produced shows, the parents. They sit there with their cameras and camcorders as though this is some greatly momentous event. Some of them even brought their kids giant bouquets of flowers. Somebody really needs to give these people a nickel to buy themselves lives of their own.
