What’s it like to be a rockstar?

It’s a pretty tough gig. Fans screaming and wanting to hold your hand or your arm. Signing autographs and hi-fiving everyone. That’s what it is like when we walk into a school here in Thailand. It is pretty overwhelming. We are ordinary people just wanting to visit the school and have fun with the kids.

Yesterday was our first school visit and we were totally underprepared for what was ahead of us. We had a English lesson prepared for what we thought was going to be a class of 20. It ended up being close to 400 students of all ages! It was epic! We went with part of what we had planned and threw in a whole lot of songs for good measure. Na Na Narni and Father Abraham are at the top of my setlist.

I think it went pretty well- I don’t think you can really go wrong if you can sing a little, dance a little and are able to laugh at yourself and have a good time. If all else fails Hi-fiving every kids in sight, they never get tired of that.
