Oliver school production (in particular for In A Pickle)

[xanderma]

Thank you to all the people who gave me help regarding Mr Bumble's costume for our school production of Oliver. (See http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Family/Question 526696.html )

A very dear lady who is the Grandma of one of our Reception children made a wonderful costume from an old blue dressing gown and a bit of gold braid! This was a true act of kindness, as she had no children in the production - if only there were more like her!

And just to report back, we had a dress rehearsal on Monday and the real performance on Wednesday - truly wonderful! Everyone involved was on such a high, especially the teacher who co-ordinated it - thank God for people like her, I say.

In A Pickle, I love to hear your stories - I've been reading your insights into Wilfred Brambell as well, I reckon I could talk to you for hours!

Well, watch this space next year, when I'm begging for advice for the next show - yes, I've already volunteered to be Wardrobe Manager again!!!

If you ever need a willing ear, I'm right here!

I caught the end of "I'd do Anything yesterday" - with 3 kids, it can be a battle for the TV in our house, but I think that will become a "must watch" for the whole family. I've borrowed the Vocal Selections score from school, and my 12 year old learning all the songs on the piano, not quite the von Trapps but we have fun!

Thanks for replying, keep in touch.
