The Sound of Music

I'm way late in posting this, but as a way of giving K another birthday shout-out, I'm going to go ahead and do it.

So, for K's birthday, we went - believe it or not - to The Sound of Music sing-along at Powell Symphony Hall.  Well, first we went to dinner at Schneithorst's, which, while German, was the best themed food we could manage on our tight schedule.

In addition to being a sing-along, which is by its very nature interactive, there were props!  We had edelweiss, pictures of Maria and a will-o-the-wisp, and party poppers (like this, but with paper confetti rather than with champagne bottles), among other things.  We were instructed to pop the poppers when the Captain and Maria kissed, although some people couldn't wait that long.  Oh, and there were hand motions and other sound effects too!

On the whole, since we three were perfectly willing to act like five-year-olds, it was an awesome time!
