Recitals always worth a pain in backside

When our daughter started ballet as a grade-school girl, the annual spring dance recitals were held in the Pierre City Auditorium, a rather drab place with a scarred wooden floor, plenty of metal folding chairs and no air conditioning. I played basketball in the place as a high-school senior back in 1962. Even then, the lighting at one end of the court seemed a bit dim.
