From Singing School

Singing School, you ask?  What in the world?

The short version (albeit not exactly accurate) is it is the Primitive Baptist version of Vacation Bible School.  Except that the purpose of the week is to help educate the kids of all ages on reading the shaped notes that are in our song books.  You don't have to be PB to attend, by any means!
This year, Poodle was one of the "big girls" in her class.  We're not sure if she'll spend one more year in the "little class" or if she'll move up to the "middle class" next year.  So I wanted to make sure I got her on video all 3 days that they performed for the big kids, just in case.  Tooter participated one of the days as well!

This first video is from Day Two (they don't "perform" on day one), and it is of them practicing their Do Re Mi's.




This next video is also from Day Two, and it is the "Thank you for making me" song. I'm not sure what I did wrong with the camera, but I managed to cut off both the front and back ends. Whoops!





And, the last video from Day Two is of "Only a Boy Named David".






Now, for Day Three. This is the day that Tooter was awake and in a participatory mood. It's just one video for the 4 minute performance.






And, lastly, Day Four. Please excuse the shaky camera and the constant reprimands to the Tootman. He was awake that day, but was tired by that point in the week and was pretty whiny. So, between his trying to climb into my lap, not sitting still, general fussy'ness and wanting to hold the camera, the video looks as if the camera person was attached to a hang glider. Oh, and he got to be so much at one point and I had to stop the video and continue it in another segment.
The video starts with Poodle and one of her friends, Abigail, doing a demonstration of "song leading". Poodle got a little off, but no worries!





So, here's the last part of it!
