Today was the grand finale of the balavihar year.  We had practiced rigorously for the last couple of classes and had met some extra sessions for practices as well.  It all culminated in our performance on stage today.  We had asked all the parents to assemble with their children at 11 a.m. for our 11.30 performance.  Promptly, we met all the thoroughly well dressed children by the tents!  Children, each one of you looked so adorable in your colorful costumes!

When our class was called on stage, the children went up in a very orderly manner.  They lined up nicely and lo and behold, they were ready to perform!  With their dialogues, two of the children introduced their class as well as what they would be presenting.  They all took the cues so well and started simultaneously, without missing a beat!  They chanted the 'eka shlokI raamaayaNa' with appropriate actions that, the meaning of the verse became self evident.  Then, another child came up and introduced the bhajans they were going to chant.  The raama bhajans 'aatmaa raamaa...' and 'aatma nivaasI raam...' came out very beautifully.  The audience was clapping along with the children.  Then another child came up to introduce the hanumaan bhajan they were going to sing.  Everyone had picked up their 'shrI raama' flags by then.  They all sang in unison, 'aanjaneya veera hanumanta shoora...' in one voice and raised their flags to the tune.  (That one has always been their favorite one ;).  At the end, they all took a bow at once and walked down single file, to the loud applause from the audience.

You gave your best and performed so well.  You were all so disciplined and a well behaved group of children too.  Children, you all made us very proud! Thank you for being such an awesome bunch and parents, thank you for letting us work with your children.  We are going to miss them a lot next year :(.  They have all done a great job and will be moving on to second grade...  You will remain in our fondest memories as one of the best classes ever!  Give us a shout out when you see us in the corridors next year.  You would have all grown so much and become taller by the time we see you again :).  Enjoy the summer break and come back next year for another fun filled year at balavihar!!

Take care everyone!  Hari Om!!
