Northern Illinois University Music Hall~03.18.06

Reherarsal for the Invitational Choral Festival, held later that night.

With several children's choirs doing their thing, the day got kind of long for this chaperone. Whilst the kid's were on-stage I ended up staring at the ceiling every now & again. The childen's reflections, though distorted are quite visible.

Though it was sedate when they were on-stage, when off it was controlled chaos--all kids had to have a chaperone at all times. When you figure upwards of 100 of our kids--The Palatine Children's Choir--each had 2 changes of clothes (shown is their casual garb "red & blue") and that they were a mixed group (girls & boys), it made the time off-stage move very quickly. No time for staring at the ceiling nor for taking photos.
