Well....... a few photos pre and post concert are nice to have if you can get a child to stand still long enough.

And sometimes you just have to sneak a photo when you can....while hiding behind a post. I take some cute photos that way.

Once in a while I do take pictures while a child is performing, but I have never been the Mama or the Grandma that walks right to the stage and snaps a picture. I try to be very discreet and I am truly very good at hiding behind something or someone to get a photo. And although I do take pictures of school festivals (especially the May Fair), I never ever take pictures during a school performance.

I have to admit that I take advantage of the non school activities where I feel comfortable taking a few pictures from my various hiding places. As another year of violin comes to a close, I know that music will dwell in our souls as we listen to the waves wash up to the shore, as we listen to the birds sing, and as we listen to the voices of the children playing outside. Alfred, Lord Tennyson writes it so well.........
"Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul according well,
May make one music as before".
