Clap

The Nutcracker today was as boring as I expected it to be. I did have a few kids fall asleep. I was very thankful for that. That way they weren't interrupting any of the performers. Before the show started, the lady introducing the show told the audience that they should clap whenever they thought something was spectacular. The audience actually listen to her and took her words to heart. The audience was full of fourth-grade students all from the county I work at. They clapped at everything. It was actually a bit annoying. At least the ones who stayed awake seemed into it. The ballet was very long. I'm glad it's over with.
