As always I am prepared to be told IABU.

Years 4 5 & 6 (60 kids in total) are currently preforming in 3 evening plays (put on by the school). During the 15 minutes 'intervals' the kids are to wait in the dinner hall (which is WELL away from where they play is being held - the parents are 'allowed to get up and use the loo/get drinks during this 15 mins).

At last nights show the kids were in the dinner hall chatting excitedly about the show and got told off for being too loud - they ALL had 10 minutes of their play ground time for today reduced. Also they are not allowed to use the toilet or have a drink in these 15 minutes (it is a dancing/singing show so a lot of them are hot and bothered).

Am I being unreasonable to think that it is a little mean that they loose their playground time for 'being loud' (id say excited) for something that is effectively out of school hours and is meant to be something fun....

and AIBU to be pretty pissed off over the drinks and toilets thing ??

They don't generally need escorting,no. BUT when they are hyped up and expected to go on stage any second...well, someone needs to be around to chivvy them up and keep a bit of order , if possible!! And in our school, the loos are a long way from the stage area!
