Last weekend, all the JIS choirs came together for a concert. Both elementary schools, the middle school, the high school, and the adult Indonesian choir each performed separately in turn. Here's the highlight of Alex's turn with the PIE choir. He's on the far left, middle row. When the video shakes, it's because I couldn't stop laughing!
For the grand finale, all the choirs came together for one song together and I've gotta say, it left me teary! The lyrics say that we all laugh, all cry, all feel hunger, all feel pain...We are one world, one people, and we all bleed the same. To hear voices of all ages from all over the globe singing the words together was incredible.
Alex is on the front row. The video is in two parts because it was too long to share.
Finally, Alex's class performed a really interesting Chinese song at their weekly assembly. The recorder may not have been his first choice, but he did a nice job (once he finally woke up and realized his group's part had started!). I love getting to see the kids learn something new and show it off to the world.
