The Big Event

It’ll be a big night tonight. Emily and James are both taking part in their big school concert. They’ve been practicing their parts for weeks and tonight’s the big event.

I don’t know too much about it but I do know it’s based on an Australian theme. Emily’s been singing lots of Aussie songs, James has been going over his script again and again.

I’m sure I won’t be the only parent there with a video camera.

The amazing thing with such shows is that by the end of it, I can remember everything that our kids did on stage, but I can never work out why there was a bunch of other kids up there at the same time.
