The singing itself was tedious and amateurish but I felt what I assume only proud parents feel when I saw my old students on stage. While I was there, most of the parents around me talked loudly while the choir groups were singing. I could barely hear anything. I asked the parents next to me to quiet down during a song dedicated to 9/11 victims and received a ghetto-head-bob and eye-roll in return as they continued to talk loudly.
After the concert I shook hands and hugged my students from last year. One of them screamed "MISTER!!" like a kid on Christmas morning and squeezed me so hard I nearly got knocked over. That made it worth it.
Absolutely.
