Preparation for a Wyrd Sisters concert is a long and involved process.
First, we built a paper chain to count down the days to the concert:

Laura, Claire, Dylan and Loretta with our countdown chain.
For more pictures of the countdown chain, please see our countdown page.

Then there were the long hours of training:

An early training session: dancing at Laura's Rainbow Day party

Mandy & Claire dancing at the "Getting Ready" party

And the carbo-loading:

The whole gang at Laura's Rainbow Day feast

And more carbo-loading:
(Before and during the concert, to keep our energy up)

Feasting at the "Getting Ready" party

Shaun & Cissy

Claire was really hungry!

The day of the concert we had a special gathering to make ourselves beautiful:

Laura, Elisabeth, Lili, Claire and Amanda: getting ready for the Wyrd Sisters.

We also watched the Wyrd Sisters on television, to get into the proper mood:

Lianne, Kim and Nancy sing "Warrior" on the New PL.

And Claire and Elisabeth invented a new "getting ready for the Wyrd Sisters" activity known as "Tossing the Lion".

(I'm not entirely clear on the particulars of this activity. Perhaps I am just too old!)

Finally, the night we had all been waiting for arrived:

(With apologies to the ushers who we frightened when we informed them that we did not intend to sit down for the concert!)

We love to dance in the rain!

But Centennial Hall will do in a pinch.

Laura and Heather: getting down with the Wyrd Sisters!

Gayle, Anna and the soon to be newest addition to the Wyrd Sisters' fan club. (We like to start them young!)

After the concert, we were privileged to have our picture taken with Nancy and Kim:

The morning after:

Even the monkey, not wanting to be left out, donned some Wyrd gear:

With much love and thanks to Nancy, Kim & Lianne, their band, and Orchestra London, for a wonderful evening!

Next step: to convince Orchestra London to invite the Wyrds back every year!
