Chinese New Year

It's the year of the dragon, and D's school put on a huge production at Bethel University to celebrate Chinese New Year. Each class had a dance and song they performed. I was impressed by the quality of the show, from the decorations to the costumes to the fact that even the kindergartners were not phased by the fact that they performed in front of an audience of 1,200!

Here are some highlights:

All of the 5th graders brought in the dragon through the audience.
