DS1 has been having piano lessons and the teacher put him in his first concert yesterday in a local school hall - she does this a couple of times every year it seems, and all her pupils play something. Having alerted all the grannies etc, up we turned to find it was ?4 per adult, ?2 per non-performing child , 50p for programmes, plus raffle and donations for refreshments. Cost us all nearly ?30. Admittedly the proceeds went to charity but am I scrooge-like for finding that quite steep?
