Rehearsal

This morning we had our first rehearsal. One of the children, Sjohvankah Courtar, from the Gov. de Graaffschool, could not be there, since she is in the hospital. We hope she will be better before Thursday, because then we have the dress rehearsal with all the other participants! Teacher Hilda of the Terminal School played King Willem and I played Maxima. We have the feeling Maxima would want to kneel down by Tashika (Bethel Methodist School). So Tashika has to be prepared! She was good, but her little voice was not loud enough! We first thought Tashika would be the one to give the book and we would have Chiani (Seventh Day Adventist school) to help her. But then we practiced and Tashika did not give the book! So now Chiani is going to hand over the book. We figure Tashika doesn't have to worry, one of them, whether it be Willem or Maxima, will surely talk to Tashika! The boy on the left, Jose, did very well, he already practiced with his principal Rosalie (Golden Rockschool).

On the grass, behind the children, you see a pink ribbon, that is to mark the spot where the portraits will be exhibited. We are the last group they will pass by.
