Well, we did it! What an amazing day and performance. I am very pleased with the outcome and believe that we have set the bar for EY/08 next year! I just wanted to thank everyone for taking part, whether you were singing, presenting, playing, or organizing the presentation. We worked as a team and without that team work the performance would have been a disaster. I think we did ourselves and our professors proud. Shayla, you are awesome - you know all the words to every Christmas song!... I needed the lyrics :) The performance was definitely entertaining and we had everyone laughing at one point or another. Laughter can go a long way.
While the performance was good, just some suggestions for future consideration and maybe Willow can use this information for next year. I could not see the lyrics from where we were standing and as such, began humming! Next time, we should make sure the words are big enough to see. Also, maybe two projectors would be better. One that performers can see and one that the audience can see. The projector was behind the audience and many of them wanted to keep eye contact with us. This might account for why many people were not singing along? Some people brought paper copies of the songs... ingenious!
While we were singing, I was thinking about how much fun it would be to take students caroling through the school. I would have my students decide what songs they would want to sing (a minimum of 3) and have them sing one song per classroom. I think they would find it enjoyable and would allow them to perform without too much preparation.
Overall, I am glad that we decided to participate in this activity and have fun as a group. It was a bit of stress relief for me and allowed me to forget about some of my worries about my e-portfolio. Thanks again to everyone, you have the voices of angels!
