get on up, clap your hands...

when you hear the Fresh Beat Band

 dance and move, to our song,

 join the band and play along...

 and so we did!  Kate, although suffering from the coughing issues, gave it her beat effort and loved every.minute.of.it.  Loved it!  I bought VIP tickets long ago and didn't tell Kate about this until the morning of.  She was so, so, so surprised and that we got to go "just girls" was even better!

 After the show (notice the shirt), we went to the Party Room where there were activities, snacks, hula hoops and later...

 the back-up dancers came and taught the kids a Fresh Beat dance.  Kate was front and center for this (though she did not get one of the "rock star" jackets and was quite upset about this.  (I had no reason to buy a $45 silver jacket for Kate).

 The band came out and she hugged Shout...

 then sat in the middle of the group for her picture.  She wore her skirt like Kiki's.

 Yep, girlfriend could go on tour with them.  What a great night with my girl.  So glad I was able to surprise her and that she enjoyed the concert.  Probably the only time she will have third row seats at a concert!
