Oh, Danny Boy, the Pipes the Pipes are Calling...

Every Friday at Dulwich, the students attend a school-wide assembly. The content of these assemblies changes weekly. Each Year may be in charge of presenting or there may be a holiday themed program. Parents are welcome to attend, but I've stayed clear until I was formally invited by one of my girls. The "Pavarotti Choir" as well as Year 10 was slated to present on Remembrance Day (Veterans Day), and then again on the First Annual International Schools' Music Day. I'd heard Katie singing a couple of songs, assuming she'd learned them in choir.

The auditorium is quite large, but even so the students fill up the lower section. Parents have to sit in the balcony. For Remembrance Day I managed a front row balcony seat, but forgot the video camera and had to use my phone to capture the moment. The kids did a good job with an emotional tribute to the British veterans. The Headmaster Mr. Magnus touted the hard work of all the students for both events. He's so proud of his school as well he should be.

The Music Day was for the Junior and Senior Schools' music students. Dulwich, along with five other International Schools from the area came together and made music. There's no better words to describe it. The band, orchestra and choirs from these schools practiced all day together, learning three to four new pieces of music and then performed at the end of the day for the entire school. You all know how choked up I get when there's music and my children involved. Add the fact that Larry was able to enjoy it as we'd just come from the airport after his long trip.

I'm still trying to figure out how to download a readable file from my phone to the computer. I did snap a couple of pictures of the days' highlights, but hopefully, tonight Larry can help me put the videos on here. Yep, he's actually home this week.
