Speaker 1: blob zone the other day. So I'm just getting Wendy

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,920

Speaker 1: Okay, we'll put Wendy aside.

00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: Yesterday was speech day and as soon as we came

00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: off here, I raced to get there because at the

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: front of the Opera house on speech day. It's my

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: favorite thing because the school where my boys go to

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: school has Australia's biggest pipes and drums band, not just

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: a school band, Australia's biggest pipes and drums band. They're

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: pretty joys school, so good. And Liam plays the bagpipes.

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: He wasn't doing it because he's in year twelve and

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: they didn't do that. But Jack was playing the drum,

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: the big what's that big one? You're a big drum,

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: the big bass drum.

19
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: How'd he go with it? Oh?

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: It's heavy carrying around. He looked like an ant carrying

21
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: a leaf.

22
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Did he take my suggestion to freestyle a bit?

23
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: No? But but you could see him really enjoying bashing

24
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: it very hard.

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to mind.

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah they do. He said that he's one, and some

27
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: others choose to mime. He refused to mind because he

28
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: just likes whacking it hard. So it was great to

29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: see all that, and I just it was beautiful. So

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: we go inside for speech day. Here's me from Carlingford

31
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,800

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,679

Speaker 2: school bands performed, They're amazing. And at one point a

35
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: group of guys got up and the whole choir joined

36
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,280

00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: So but they have they have lots and lots of awards,

39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: and I'm one of those people who claps every single

40
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,120

Speaker 1: a little Andrew Ginsburg, well, he gets a little bit

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: enthusiastic in the crowd.

44
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, there are a couple of Whools boys. I knew,

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, And I knew Liam was going

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: to be getting a ward year twelve award for captain

47
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: of one of the houses, so I knew that was happening.

48
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: So I'm looking through the schedule and I've clapped and

49
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: clapped and clapped and clapped. Isn't this great?

50
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: We've sat through all the other kids, and then we.

51
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Get to the year eleven ones and I thought, you

52
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: know what, now is the time to go to the loop.

53
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: So there was a thousand steps to get down to

54
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: go to the.

55
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Tour because you're on the you're on the fore court

56
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: or inside.

57
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: We're inside inside the concert hall, I think.

58
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: But the toilet's hard to get to the lou of that.

59
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: The toilet is in the foyer, so you have to

60
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: come down the stairs, down the stairs, down the front,

61
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. So I bolt down there, come all

62
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: the way back up, locked out. It's like a concert.

63
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Were seeing Elton John not seeing cats and old disrupt

64
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: the musical? Why they locked the doors for Jeremy sooms

65
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: come forward or don't interrupt, you know? And I started

66
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: to panic because they're into the year eleven ones, and

67
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: I thought, I've sat through all these other ones and clapped.

68
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to miss Limbs Year twelve ones and all

69
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: his friends. So I lean over the side from way

70
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: up high where I am not inside. I'm still on

71
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: the stairwell to security. Saying I've got to get in.

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Security would have been helpful.

73
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: Then well, they came up and unlocked it so I

74
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: could get in just in time.

75
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Just I just made it.

76
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 2: I made it. And during all the you know, parents

77
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: in notoriously terrible singers, and the kids have to know

78
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: the hymns and stuff parents don't. So we've got the

79
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: book in front of and.

80
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: And Sons of God, all.

81
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: That sort of stuff. But this beautiful booming voice behind us,

82
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: harmonizing in the hymns. I just mind because I thought

83
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: this guy is doing all the heavy lifting. And as

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: we left, it was Andrew O'Keefe. He was a professional singer.

85
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Andrew's like performing at the moment the songs of Johnny O'Keefe.

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: So he's singing, he's in proper voice and voice, and

87
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: he's harmonizing the hymns.

88
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: Did he say the chase is on?

89
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: But I thanked him for carrying the can for the

90
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: rest of us who weren't quite as good.

91
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: You should have said that when you were into the dunny,

92
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: get someone to carry the can. Joined the and Amanda

93
