T.J. was in his 5th grade musical last night. It was a play that brought Art, History and music all together. The title of this musical is Yo! Leonardo. It was Composed by Mark Burrows. The musical brought artists like Leonardo Di Vinci,Monsieur Monet,Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picaso into light with song and illistration. All of the children did their jobs well but I do think that the direction left a lot to be desired. It seems that Ms. Joy Heideman, The Music Teacher and Director of this musical had too much on her plate. I feel that it did in fact lack direction and it seemed to me that she couldn't handle the children and keep them in order. There were several mistakes made which is what 5th grade plays and musicals are about, but when the Director herself is the one makeing the mistakes one must wonder. All in all the musical turned out ok, it was cute, and what one would expect. What annoyed us, (not just me) is that at the end Ms. Heideman took 20 minutes to thank everyone and say goodnight. The musical was an hour long and Ms. Heideman's talk for 25 minutes was almost half as long. In the words of Eddie Murphy, "shut the F#@* up and get off the stage"! Over all, always good to see my boy on stage.
