Choir mom story

It's not news to any of us in the business, but it's a cute story nonetheless, from the London Daily Telegraph (but taking place in Singapore):

Do you want to hear about trying to organize 200 children in height order, into altos, sopranos and descants in a tiny space hemmed in by instruments belonging to The Singapore Symphony Orchestra, and staging for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

Do you want to hear about discovering an hour before the concert began that the choir did not actually fit on the stage?

Or about supervising juice and snacks for 200 children who were under strict instructions not to spill anything on their white concert uniforms?

Or about shepherding 200 children to the one available loo, ten minutes before they were due to go on?

Or about temporarily losing half the choir after the performance when they went off somewhere or other with an usher who’d got the wrong end of the stick?

There's more.
