"Sun and Moon"

At last night's rehearsal we started by having the entire cast in a circle, singing "I've Got the Sun in the Morning," tossing one of my little crocheted animals in rhythm around the circle. The second time we did the song, we added a second animal in the other direction. I told them, "This is to warm you up for Suzy. If you think this is hard, just wait till she gets you going!" Everyone seemed to have a blast, and not only that, but everyone (even the more hesitant and halting members, musically) kept the rhythm and managed to sing the song. What a lot of progress we've made since we started rehearsing on February 1. It's something to behold. I love the fact that I have a seven-year-old boy standing next to a seventy-one-year-old woman, and they are both fully engaged with the entire group.
