This year's 7th & 8th grade play was The Music Man. The producer asked for a handful of 5th & 6th graders that played an instrument to create the band that performs at the end of the play. Izzy was able to be a part of this band and practiced Minuet in G for a few weeks in preparation. This was such a talented group of actors and will be hard to fill their shoes when they move on to high school. For my theater loving Izzy, she thrives in all of these experiences.
Though they had a short cameo, being a part of the finale was special. Those who comprised the band were allowed to sit and watch the play up through intermission at which point they needed to leave to change into their band uniforms. We could make out Minuet in G but it was not good. That was what the producer was going for and pointed out they played better in rehearsals. He asked them to sound worse for sake for the play's story line.
