Ed-Stock: An Outdoor Concert

Several months ago I attended a home-and school meeting where the music teacher proposed an interesting idea for a fundraiser: An outdoor concert where the kids would perform, a few parents would accompany on instruments, parents would be charged 5$ for entry, and the audience would sit on folding chairs that they brought to the concert. The idea was quickly approved by the governing board, and the concert took place this week. They called it "Ed-Stock". Over one thousand parents and kids attended, and it was definitely a big hit. The principal got permission someone at Woodstock to sell the posters for 5$ a pop. All we had to do was practice some songs with our 7-year old, including:

I Love Rock and Roll
Seven Nation Army
Umbrella
Halleluja
Life is a Highway
Ahead by a Century
Stairway to Heaven
Where the Streets Have no Name

The students were divided into three groups, and each group sang approximately 10 songs. The whole event lasted exactly two hours, the snacks quickly ran out, and the event was a definite success. Here are a few photos:
