I am quite a bit behind on my blog, so I am attempting to play catchup. On May 23, I had the pleasure of doing one of my favorite gigs of the year…an end-of-the-year blowout at Richpond Elementary.
Now, you’ve all had a chance to hear me rant and rave and carry on about how a lot of people don’t like to dance, but that will never be the case at Richpond. I did the event for the first time last year and really looked forward to doing it again. For awhile, I thought I wasn’t going to be asked back because I had not heard from anyone…but lo and behold, I got the call just about two weeks before the event. Hurray!!!
Some people don’t like to mess with younger children because they are pretty hard to please (I know you parents feel me on this one), but I love going to Richpond. The children are polite, accepting and fun…even when I can’t play some of their favorite songs due to language and inference.
Okay, if you’re a kid reading this, an inference is what something is trying to say without actually saying it (Like “Snap,” which happens to be my daughters favorite phrase these days. She uses it in place of the words she knows she’s not allowed to say. I love you, Nina!).
Anyway, these kids don’t really care. As long as there’s music, they are happy. They dance…They play…They have a great time. Not to mention the teachers, administrators and teachers! They love to dance with the kids, and it shows that they really care.
So, Here’s to the students, teachers, administrators and parents of Richpond Elementary. You Rock!!!
