Marshall sang in front of an real audience (other than his adoring parents, that is ;) for the first time in the Tiny Kids choir at church this Christmas.
The planners knew when working with this age range (2yrs - 4yrs), short attention spans were a potential problem. So they only had the kids sing two songs, Go Tell It On The Mountain and Glory to God and they passed out shakers at the beginning of the second song to give the kids something new to concentrate on (to try to lengthen that attention span as much as possible).
Despite this, the kids managed to go from angelic to...something decidedly not-angelic by the end. If you take a close look at the pictures, you will get an idea of how the performance progressed, beginning with everyone roughly facing the right direction and singing the right words and ending with the boys playing with the microphones, bonking each other on the head with the musical shakers and making faces to entertain the giggling crowd (and yes, Marshall was right in the middle of it!).
All in all, the audience throughly enjoyed themselves and the kids learned a little something about the real reason for the Christmas season. I'd call that a sucess any day! :)
