Annie Get Your Gun

We went to breakfast at MiChallitas this morning as usual, except that Judy didn't come. She and Sandy have started a new gluten free diet, so they went for a walk in the park instead. After breakfast we walked the park with Jean. It was still a bit foggy, and Jean was stopped on the way to the park for speeding. Luckily, the officer ended up not even writing her a warning ticket, on the basis that as a Winter Texan she wasn't familiar with the speed limit, which is 45 mpg on a wide open highway.

We got home just over a hour before we had to leave to go to the Nikki Rowe musical, Annie Get Your Gun. This is the show that we queued up very early on a December morning to buy tickets for our group.

We got to the school parking lot just in time to walk in with John and Sandy, and we found Bob and Pat just in front of us in the line in the cafeteria. Eerily, this same thing happened in 2013, the last show we attended here. We must be really predictable!

The Nikki Rowe choir is a bunch of very talented kids. They put on a wonderful spring musical every year. We've seen a couple: A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum in 2013 and Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? in 2011.

This year's performance was enjoyable, and the kids were singing and acting their hearts out, but the show was plagued by technical difficulties with the sound system. It also seemed to us that the sound mixer needed to give the voices more volume, especially on the softer songs. We were surprised to find that some of the classic songs actually come from the musical, songs like "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "Anything You Can Do."
