Merry Christmas for 2022! Yay! We made it this far!
 

Merry Christmas to everyone on a very blustery Christmas Eve near Ottawa, Canada. (Sherry, I'm sure you've been clobbered by the same system.)


Attached is the weirdest piece of fun you'll run across this year. It's an old song used in English pantomime (which has nothing to do with walking against the wind or being trapped in a box). Panto, as its called, is children's entertainment for Christmas. Take a fairy tale, a large man in a dress (the Dame), a young woman in tights (the Principal Boy), and a lot of serious silly.


This song was the finale for our 2017 Cinderella panto. If I Were Not In Pantomime has to be seen to be appreciated and, happily, you can see it here: https://youtu.be/SlEj09gHGKw. That's our Cinderella cast performing it live.


Watch the .not file to see the crazy notation challenge (which Composer handles admirably), then watch the video to see it in action.


All the best to everyone here and may it continue into the New Year.

Hi David,


Wow - yes, a serious amount of silly :)
The cast did an admirable job with it - stuff like that I don't think I could get through without just doubling-up on stage :D



Thanks for sharing a fun piece on such a blustery day. Thankfully we haven't gotten a ton of snow, but it's blowing all over the place so we have drifts that are going to make excellent snow caves if the gusts don't blow the kids across the road first :eek:


Merry Christmas!
Sherry
