AAAAGGHHHHHHHHH. That is the most eloquent way I have of describing how I felt when I woke up. Would they manage to pull it off today or would it be a total disaster, with the headmistress calling the authorities and having me locked up? I needn't have worried. As with all such things, the run through was awful, but the actual performance was delightful. I had a tear in my eye at the end. I wish I could write about some of the individual backgrounds and circumstances of some of the kids I have been working with. it would give a little perspective as to quite what they have achieved, and quite how precious they have all become for me over the last few weeks. Of course I cannot put such details, but words such as abuse, neglect and poverty would give the merest of hints. We move on to the performance in front of parents tomorrow, and I think this has been one of the most significant and worthwhile things I have ever been involved with.
