STJ: Playing for change, September 2013
In the spirit of Playing for Change Day, September’s STJ was an afternoon full of music, dance, and inspiration. From classical instrumental pieces to modern dance routines, children amazed and delighted everyone in the room with their performances.

STJ is a family-oriented space for expression, so it was wonderful to see adults and children sharing the stage. The afternoon began with a mom and toddler team performing an upbeat ribbon dance. We then had a student-teacher duet of Let it Be, a brother-sister duo on flute and drum, and a father-daughter violin performance. Kindermusik teachers and Stage Time and Wine regulars shared their talents with the audience, opening young eyes to the possibilities music can bring.
Dispersed between the musical performances were skits, jokes, and a reading of an interactive story. One family got up to perform an original skit, and a young boy got up to tell a quick joke. To the delight of the very young ones, we also had the return of the adorable puppet Mimi.
To the emcee, photographers, mug artists, kitchen-hands, door people, supportive parents, adult performers, Canmeng Aveda, Nonzero, Red Room Volunteers, thank you for supporting STJ. This is a true community effort, where many people are joining together to expand the creative lives of our future generation. To new families, whether your child would like to try something new or just be part of the audience, feel welcome to join us at STJ on November 16th, 2:30pm.

the dog
song written by Hannah.
Performed by Hannah and Kyle Hsieh.
The dog says woof and I say woof and you say nothing but a little woof woof woof.
With the TV in front of you, you cannot see me; I’ve got such an ugly little face.
What the dog says is: woofy woofy woof! I want more, food!!!!
Hor-sey walked cross the river again, Bit the dog and bit me and ouch a-blen!
we died and turned into monster skeletons. We know we should go to the ponster skeletons.
The dog put his head back down into the garage, he died with a sound, with such a little parage.
