Today was Delaney's piano recital. She has been taking piano since September and was so excited for today. The song she starts out with is "Trumpet Song" and then finishes with "It's a Small World". Fitting because that is her favorite ride of all time at Disney (which, come to think of it, is probably why she and her teacher picked it).
Her teacher told her last week that when she was done, if she wore a dress, she could curtsy. So, being Delaney, she practiced her curtsy all week long and had to make sure she was wearing a curtsy-able dress. We did several test runs at home before going to the recital to be sure her dress would flare just enough to maximize the curtsying effect.
You will see at the end of the video, that alas, there was no curtsy. Jeff and I were actually disappointed she left it out. We asked her about it after and she commented that no one else bowed or curtsied, so she felt funny doing it.
I don't know about you, but I don't know if a piano recital is complete without the curtsy. Just sayin'.
Here's a link to the video. I put it on YouTube because I couldn't, for the life of me, get it to upload to blogger. I suppose it's too long.

I loved the recital! Yea, Delaney!!! I can't wait to see those cute kids this summer....
She did SO well! It's scary playing in front of people and she was so poised! Well done Delaney!
I'm so proud of her! She did a fantastic job!
Wow! Way to go D!!!! I did catch a little glimpse a little hop-skip as she was walking off the stage. Almost as good as a curtsy! :)
