A busy day

Today was all about performing.  Our first concert was an early one at the local primary school, Jean Jaures, where we played in front of 80 eager children and their teachers.  "Breathless" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" where definite hits and got them all clapping along. 

Then, back to College Edouard Herriot for a lovely and friendly lunch with Brigitte's English students.  After lunch the winners of the grand quiz were announced and we are pleased to say that Joanna and Marguerite came in joint first.

Two more short concerts for some classes from Edouard Herriot were then followed by a longish walk in the rain to the circus tent of Le Chapiteau de la Fontaine in the neighbouring village of Clichy-Sous-Bois.  Here the atmospheric backstage area was redolent of times gone by with old props and mirrors adorned with light bulbs.  The kids made the most of the opportunity to lord it and play the roles of stars.  A strong performance reflected the group's growing cohesion.  After a long and tiring day we finally went back to Livry-Gargan to meet the hosts for the last night of our stay.
