OMG it was bloody awful. I have NEVER heard/experienced anything like it in my entire life (and I've been to a lot of concerts with schools invovled).
Every year the local Rotary Club does a series of 4 "Seasonal" concerts for the local primary/junior school choirs to come and sing at. Each night 4 or 5 different school choirs do some joint, and individual pieces. 19 schools in total - around 800 children involved in total. Usually a lovely evening in the local theatre.
Tonight was DS1's schools turn (along with 3 other schools).
Got a ticket and was really looking forward to it.
Sat down, and as one of the other schools was introduced at the beginning of the concert a voice behind me boomed out
"CHELSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"'.
OK - I thought - annoying, but maybe they're just really chuffed their DD is in her school choir.
But it got worse, they sang (badly out of tune) all the way through the first song (a joint schools ones).
Then as DS1's school did their 2 individual items they chattered and laughed, and made jokes, and made fun of the 2 soloists.
By that point I'd got fed up, and had seen a spare seat a couple of rows ahead, so as made a dash for it as the 2nd school was being introduced (and they were moving around on stage into position to sing).
However "CHELSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAS'" fan club continued for almost half the performance to shout out like that in between items, "CHELSEA YOU'RE THE GREATEST", "COME ON CHELSEA". (I should add that Chelsea was not one of the soloists/readers for the night - and there were quite a few from each school)
Eventually the rest of the audience got fed up and got a small (almost) "boooooo" (very disapproving noises) from lots of people and they stopped that malarky.
But although I'd moved a few rows ahead I could still hear the murmurings of them chatting, and joking.
IABU to be really pissed off at these 2 adults behaving like that at what was obviously a semi formal concert? Not a football match, and to feel REALLY sorry for poor Chelsea who is probably embarrassed as hell.
I should perhaps add that naturally at a concert with so many parents watching their children there was the odd murmuring of comment between others, and the occasional younger sibling squawking - but really these 2 idiots were just on another league entirely.
