1st Performance @ School

Renee came home about 2 weeks ago and told me that she's been asked to play the violin at school(she didn't know which day then).  For convenience, we wanted her to play the piece which she'd played for the audition but last minute, she decided to change and play the piece she's learnt only 1 week ago.  For a public performance, this is definitely not advisable but since it's only gonna be a casual one, we let her decide.

We all woke up very early today, to accompany Renee to school.  Even poor meimei has to wake up as early and of 'cos, she wasn't quite happy about it(unlike the 1st few days of jiejie's formal schooling days, hahaha). 

The few of them are to perform before the asembly starts and as they(the P1s and P2s) gather at the arena,  not at the hall upstairs, thus, the audience will be limited to just the P1s and P2s but still, the crowd is larger than those at Nafa's masterclasses and I think that's what made Renee alittle nervous, especially with a new violin.

I wouldn't grade the performance a very satisfactory one but nevertheless, not too bad overall and we're just happy that she's had an opportunity to play infront of a larger group of audience(even if it's not a formal one).

As we were about to leave the school, we were stopped by her form teacher : "oh, she plays very well" and luckily for this 'delay', I(we) got to experience something which was loooooong forgotten - the flag raising ceremony! hahaha.  And I wondered, must we still stand still whilst they're singing the national anthem but I thought it's best to follow suit, to set a good example to the kids, if not for anything else, :).
