Tonight was Sam's 2nd grade musical, "The Unity Tree". As you can see above, Sam had the starring role of chorus member #78. Unlike most starring roles, in this case the big red arrow will help you find him.
The Unity Tree is the story of a young Dog and Cat who befriend one another, despite admonition from members of the Dogburg and Catville communities. After quickly pinning down the "Romeo and Juliet" archetype, Dad and Pete discussed whether the play would appropriately end in a climactic and tragic suicide scene. It turned out that Pete was right - the communities learned from puppy and kitten that animals should celebrate their diversity and not segregate based on antiquated notions. The suicide scene was apparently scrapped in favor of a peppy musical number about unity.
Dad, Pete, and Sam goofed around in the dark school playground until they and the janitor had the last two cars in the parking lot, then headed home.
