I’ll gladly do it again next year.

So last night I was a “runner”, which is just calling the kids as their order comes up (for competition in music, drama, art, sign language, memorization…) I was also asked to keep the hall quiet so those in memorization competition could speak without loud interference. That actually was more difficult than dealing with any children (the children were well behaved). I had to ask a group of adults to please be quiet twice. I understand they probably didn’t like that, but my concern was getting scolded for not doing my job by my sister! This morning (Saturday), was much easier. I just judged group drama. It wasn’t a big deal (they had scoring sheets), and I think I’ll ask to judge both Friday and Saturday next year. I knew several kids, but those kids varied through the groups, so I didn’t have a preference for anyone. No conflict of interest. They gave me the $150 last night, and it is greatly appreciated. Two and a half hours last night, and three hours this morning. In addition, my sister and her family were here as my sister and BIL also judged (they have degrees in music). My dad watched his two youngest grandkids so he was exhausted! Amyra ran around and made friends. What did you guys do today? It’s beautiful here outside, what about where you are?
