[Family] Kids Disco: Organization Thread

[Emile Aben]

Howdy,

I'm going to bring some musical instruments to kids village and possibly my
2 kids who can make some music. One thing I know kids really like is being
in control of a band (ie. be the "director") using simple hand signals to
make the band play soft/loud/stop.
Can't commit to anything yet, as I don't know how my kids are going to cope
anxiety-wise, but if all of that goes well, I'd love to play/experiment
with this idea if there is room for it.
