Honor Choir Competitions

Val and Ethan have both had amazing opportunities with their choir courses lately. Val was chosen to sing in a all surrounding school competition. Mark Miller's daughter was also there from the DuPont area. She auditioned and received a solo piece. She sang for a choir director, and a smaller audience, receiving her feedback after she finished presenting her song. She is very talented and has a beautiful voice. She chose Se Tu Ma Mi as her solo. She scored a 2 (1-3) on it, and was given great feedback to help her on her signing journey. She would love to take four years of Choir but she is using her electives for Pre-med classes. We talked about maybe sending her to summer courses so that she can still be in choir. Not sure if she is interested in that option. I believe she plans for a job this summer! I thought my sister wanted her to babysit but she hasn't talked further with me about that;)

Ethan was chosen for the district wide Honor Choir for Franklin Pierce. It is always a delight to watch this because the kids/songs are incredible and the band plays well. Lagerquist
Hall is very beautiful inside and the organ at the front of the auditorium is copyrighted. The acoustics are amazing. Unfortunately your not suppose to take pictures, due to the copyright, but somehow my camera accidentally went off so I have this one and only blurry picture. We were close enough to be able to hear Ethan sing. He did great and almost won a solo performance. He looked so grown up. I can even see some fuzz growing on his upper lip. He is doing great in School this semester!

Peanut is growing up. In the past week she begged to look like Cinderella for Ethan's performance at PLU. She even wanted high heel shoes! I hesitated thinking she would wear them for two minutes and then kick them off because they hurt her feet (happens with nearly every pair of shoes I buy her), but I was wrong. She has worn the shoes two out of three days this week for school, and all day Saturday. She loves them and said I should buy some for myself. Umm, no thank-you!! She looked amazing, beautiful, and very Cinderelly (made up word by me) that night. You go girl! High Heel Powers activate!!
