SHOWTIME

The youngest girls performed in the school musical yesterday and today. They have been rehearsing for 5 months.
Leah learned music and dance steps for 9 songs! Some of the songs were Broadway standards - "America" from West Side Story, and "Oklahoma". We watched clips - on YouTube - of West Side Story. It was great to see the girls' interest in all things musical (theatre).
Ev was a character in the play. It went from dramatic to musical scene and back again throughout the performance. I was amazed at the voices of some of the young girls.
Leah sounded great in the shower tonight as she went through every song from the show. I think that from now on, every time she hears "Respect", "Poison Ivy" and "Jailhouse Rock", she will have fond memories of hard work paying off in spades.
I was very proud of all the kids, teachers and parents - what a huge effort.
