I had the pleasure of watching my granddaughter in her baton/pompom recital this evening. She performed with about 40 other girls but of course I was solely focused on her and she was amazing. I'm sure all of the other audience members were focused on their child / grandchild. No one really saw if they were performing together or not, and if anything we notice was out of sinc with what our star was doing we knew the other child had goofed up.
Between the various performances their teacher explained how she began with the first year students. I was with her through the first few basic baton moves thinking "I probably could have done that." But then she started adding dance steps to the basic arm and hand movements and I knew I would have been lost. I guess I won't be taking up baton twirling any time soon (although, if I could get my hands on one of those flaming batons??? No, probably not a good idea.)
