Music Assembly..AAAH!

Manic week last week. As music co-ordinator in a large primary school, the run up to Christmas is just INSANE! Concerts, assemblies, rehearsals, extra songs to be learnt etc etc. Last week was the music assembly of the term. We have one towards the end of each term. It's basically a showcase to show off individual music talent as well as for choirs, orchestra. recorder clubs etc to perform. This year, because I run most of the music clubs, it was all on my shoulders. BLOODY TERRIFYING!!
Got it all set up with the help of a colleague and didn't notice the huge amount of parents that had come to watch until just before. Bit traumatising!
Luckily, the kids went for it and were all amaze.
Best bit of the day? Huge bunch of flowers being delivered to the school for me from a Grandmother of two kids who are in the choir. I've never taught either child. How lovely?!
Full on in Christmas mode now at school..this afternoon we learnt a Christmas song, made Christmas cards (for parent helpers and TAs) and listened to Christmas music! WOOP!
