Saturday music school
Saturday music school
Little boys, waiting boys. Not playing shops today.
No, today they have a five second recording device.
They have spent the last half an hour recording funny
noises, playing them back and gigging.
Rehearsal music from the Lion King continues in
fragments.
Mums chat. Children laugh, run, bob and weave round the
chairs. Snacks are distributed.
“Gang Gang Style” drifts across the waiting room.
A new boy has joined, glad to escape his hovering parents.
The brass-band strikes up “Just can’t wait to be king”, the
boys wait… for now.
