This was Jessica's final piano lesson, with Diane, a lovely teacher, with the patience of a Saint, who did nothing but encourage and sing of Jessica's talents. Jess loved it of coarse and seems to have a real flare for the piano, even writing her own song, dedicated to her Mummy...( I think it might have been after one of our many arguments about her hair....but she still loves me...bless!)
My guitar group played their final swan song (well, actually it was 'Santa Claus is coming to town!)to 2 packed assembly audiences.....and then we were due to be one of the main acts performing down the Foreshore, on the friday night, but unfortunately rain stopped play, so we were unable to sing our medley, including the traditional, '6 white Boomers.' which Alex loves and is trying to play on his guitar.
And finally, Jessica's big performance ( a 4 and a half hour epic!) that she had been working towards all year! She sang her Solo/duet to 'China Girl' brilliantly, infront of a packed hall. We had a front table but it was frustrating that we were not allowed to take any photos or anything during the main, filmed performance; but don't worry that you missed it.....because, yes we fell for the doting parents scam and bought 'the DVD'.....so if you want to see Jessica's performance or just have a good laugh at some really small kids at the beginning, who howled as soon as the lights went on....just ask!
During this final song a few people took a few shots so I thought it was ok for me to do the same.
Jessica was annoyed by the young girl in black and gold, who insisted on getting in Jessica's position at the front! Emily and her mum, Bronwyn, helped Jess all year and I owe her 'big time' for her hair and makeup! (Oooh, I feel like I'm making one of those speeches, when performers win an award and they have to thank all the people that helped!)
