We had a lot of presentations. You had to wear formal clothes because six year-olds wearing tuxedos and shit is adorable I guess, and they'd have you memorise several musical numbers. A lot of them were religious, and the ones that weren't were political. It wasn't a special theatre class thing, either. I remember hating most of them with a fiery passion because all we got to do was clap along while the older kids actually got to dance, and they made me wear a dress and make-up and comb my hair and then we stood on bleachers for two hours. They were mandatory for everyone sixth grade and under and they just stuck the tone-deaf kids in the back and had them keep quiet.
...You know now that I think about it, that was really fucking creepy.
One time we had a slew of Wizard of Oz songs in the middle of a Holocaust-based recital, and I actually got a solo of this bit
because I was the only one in the class that could actually get my voice up that high without straining and sounding awful.
