Same here tonight. No chance I was recording it. Just enjoyed the Bruno Mars set.Just got done done with a kids concert and saw countless parents videos by the whole thing on their phone.
We knowI pretend to video it but really just watching porn.
What's a 15 yo and why have I never heard them tell me not to video something?FFS, the 15 yo tells you up front not to video it Listen to them.
Goldmom?I have created those videos in the past; mostly for my mom (no pics - you all surely know her) who couldn't be there.
This. Video for the elders.I have created those videos in the past; mostly for my mom (no pics - you all surely know her) who couldn't be there.
Invalid poll. Given choice 4, you need to allow multiple voting options. As for me, guilty of taking video of my kids during their elementary school performances, because at they age they were adorable, and I knew they had no musical talent so this was going to be it for them. It's nice to have a keepsake, and could come in handy in a decade or two to embarrass them with significant others.Just got done done with a kids concert and saw countless parents videos by the whole thing on their phone.
Happiest day of my life was when my last kid had their last concert.Just got done done with a kids concert and saw countless parents videos by the whole thing on their phone.
The arts are a key part of a well rounded education.Kids hated it and so we did also. They were more into sports.
Music and theater is great for kids that gravitate towards if. Awful for those that don’t.
Really shouldn’t be mandatory past about 5th grade.
Your kids had music or theater mandatory past 5th grade? My kids have tried pretty much all the things, but music was only required in elementary school and that didn’t really go past the recorder. All 3 of mine have done band by their choice, but my oldest was way more into sports (baseball) than music. My middle is totally the music/drama kid. My youngest just started trumpet this year in 6th grade (also plays guitar by his choosing), enjoys acting and is also into baseball. We’ll see which direction he goes.Kids hated it and so we did also. They were more into sports.

Now that the kid's gone off to college, I miss being able to go to things that she's doing. Ours was more science competitions and things like that, but I still wish I had more opportunities to go do things like that with her. No lying...Happiest day of my life was when my last kid had their last concert.
Those things S U C K.
And parents who pretend they don't and act like they like them are lying POS.
I am talking specifically about band/choir concerts. Yes, I liked seeing my kid learn how to play instruments and sing, and - in small doses - enjoyed them. I particularly liked outside-of-school recitals (which typically were shorter).Now that the kid's gone off to college, I miss being able to go to things that she's doing.

Many states require some type of HS Fine Arts credit to graduate.Your kids had music or theater mandatory past 5th grade?

I guess that makes sense and I haven’t really had to think about it since all my kids have chosen some music and/or drama stuff.Many states require some type of HS Fine Arts credit to graduate.
In your role, have you seen kids in say, 5th grade who are not interested in band, and have a terrible singing voice, who went on to play or sing in high school? I would think it should be like baseball, where kids and families either like it or they don’t, and when it is time to no longer play it is time to no longer play. I can see having art history classes to appreciate and understand art. But, I don’t like making kids do/perform art.The arts are a key part of a well rounded education.
Wow, that would be horrible. Can't imagine forcing that.Many states require some type of HS Fine Arts credit to graduate.
Probably no worse than forcing those art/music/theater kids to take PE.Wow, that would be horrible. Can't imagine forcing that.
There is a whole world of the arts outside performing. Just because a 12 year old has no interest or talent doesn't mean they shouldn't learn something about the arts as a HS kid.In your role, have you seen kids in say, 5th grade who are not interested in band, and have a terrible singing voice, who went on to play or sing in high school?

Many of the band kids in our school are competent athletes as well and participate in the elective strength and fitness classes.Probably no worse than forcing those art/music/theater kids to take PE.
Yes, God forbid we ask kids to take a semester course in music or art appreciation. Hate for them to expand their horizons at all.Wow, that would be horrible. Can't imagine forcing that.
The school I taught at was small so the kids participated in everything. It was a great experience for them. I was just pointing out to Easy that some kids feel the same way about PE as he does about fine arts.Many of the band kids in our school are competent athletes as well and participate in the elective strength and fitness classes.
