There was a queue.
Damian Ryan was there too.
They waived to the crowd.
Then they had a media huddle.
They were mobbed by the crowd.
They were hi-fived,
...and mobbed some more.
There was a Red one,
And a Blue one...
And a Purple one.
And of course we can't forget the Yellow one.
The local area command was called in for crowd control. (LAC also handed out balloons and bracelets to the pre-schoolers in the audience).
Welcome Wiggles On Wednesday...W.O.W.
They came to put a smile on the faces of some children affected by the recent fire storm.
They presented Serge Rosato, the principal of the school with a new guitar to replace the one he lost when the family home was destroyed.
Not only did the children smile and get in on the act, but so did the parents.
Thank you to the Wiggles for helping with the emotional recovery of our children.
And afterwards...while Yellow Wiggle, Purple Wiggle and Red Wiggle signed autographs for the pre-schoolers, Blue Wiggle rushed off incognito, carrying his own guitar, to meet other obligations.
Footnote:
Although the children at St Thomas Aquinas School range in age from five to twelve years of age...the Wiggles made it age appropriate for all the children by introducing
Justin Bieber and 1 Direction into their act...ingenious...
Also, the Wiggles were once known as the Cockroaches...yes that's right...and during the eighties the Cockroaches played to adoring crowds consisting of many a teacher in training...so as you can imagine - some old memories were revived for a number of the school teachers present this afternoon.
