Tuesday night’s performance was part magic, glee and glitter.
Almost 200 kindergarten and first-graders performed “Rockin’ the Holidays,” before three times as many family members and friends at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.
Successfully corralling that many five- and six-year-olds requires special talents, no doubt, but even more impressive was their enthusiasm. They sang their hearts out.
How soon we adults forget the magic of not only the season, but also of performing and its inherent joy. The children swayed, clapped, whooped and hollered in their unbridled glee.
