2/27/2021 Recording Day

It was so sweet of Lois Lowry to send an address to the kids doing the show choir show based on her book the Giver.  (this is just a screen-shot)

Last weekend the Linn Mar choir did some recording and this weekend Spectrum recorded a couple of the songs.  I think they hope to finish the recording on Thursday and Friday.  They were just dancing here, because you can only sing for 30 minutes before you have to clear the room of the air (or something of the sort).  So because the kids are all masked up (and therefore no need to lip-sync) they are recording the singing separately.  Crazy.  They also are recording in the gym so they can be appropriately spaced.  Glad they are being safe, but it is such a reverse from last weekend when we occasionally got a glimpse of State Wrestling on the TV.  How can you possibly be safe when you are actually wrestling your unmasked opponent over and over on the ground?  Anyway, glad my kid isn't a wrestler.  We were able to see a 30 second snippet of the recording of the Giver.  I am really chomping at the bit since normally we would have seen 10 performances by now (because they let parents watch even dress rehearsals and show choir season is almost over and we have seen nothing!!!)  We usually even get videos of the summer camp and we had none of that this year (since camp was totally cancelled).

Anna's group, called Ignition, also recorded yesterday, but nothing was posted for me to find!!!  I have to wait until the Thursday before Spring break when the kids will get together to see their recording.  They too did singing and dancing separately.  Ignition barely had any time to prepare given Covid precautions.  They started late, had reduced number of practices that were shortened in duration.  They had 2 of their weekend practices canceled (once for the weather and once when all middle school extra-curriculars were cancelled), etc. etc.  At the end of the day, they shortened their show to 2 songs.  Still, can't wait to see them!
