One reason we didn't get video was because I worked backstage one of the two performance nights. Incredible that there were so few parent volunteers. Sad. I was in a hallway with about 40 girls (some only in 1st grade!) and only 1 other parent. It was chaos. The tensions were high and the tears flowed, and I kept wondering how it could be that not more parents would offer to help, especially when there's 2 nights--one to see it yourself and one to help. Needless to say, my faith in American parenthood wasn't really shaken--because I didn't have much to begin with, sadly. But I digress. Anyhoo, Ri had a great time. Here's some pics:
The second picture is with one of her best friends. She was so dedicated to come and watch the performance that she came a second day after her attempt the first night was foiled by her swelling finger (injured just before the performance, but she still came and tried to stay, only to have to go to the emergency room to find that it was broken!).
