Wangen Joint Choir Event 02 May 2015
There were three choirs singing together in the lovely Wangen city hall. Two of the choirs were from my school, Rupert Ness Gymnasium in Wangen, and one choir was a local adult choir.
The kids in my choir, the 5th - 7th graders, are in the rows in front of the stage; the teenagers in the school's intermediate choir are on the stage to the left; the local adult choir are all dressed in black and red on the stage behind us.
My best friend Franzi is on my left, and my other best friend Chiara is on my right.
We sang 14 songs, and here are the three that Papa made videos of. Enjoy!

Carnival Parade in Achberg
It's that time of year, and Anika always dances in the local parade and subsequent party in the town hall with the 'Prinzen Garde', the 'Prince's Guard'.

Anika goes to Carnival as Bibi of "Bibi & Tina"
Here's the original Bibi, a teenage witch from one of Anika's favorite movies:
Before we continue, you'll have to pardon me that I am the world's worst photographer despite having at least one camera that could win Pulitzer prizes if the user had two clues to rub together. The light in my house is terrible for automatic settings, which is generally all I know how to use. And my subject has the attention span of a caffeinated chipmunk. 'Hold still' to her means she stays in the same room. So, if you can imagine: It's 6:55 on a dark and icy February morning and she has to leave in five minutes: "Could you grab the camera and get a few pictures before she leaves?" Oh, sure.
