When I’m singing in the shower, I sound just like Linda Ronstadt. If I were a cleaner person, I could be famous, I’m sure.
(sigh)
Last weekend, I didn’t have to do much singing. Everyone else was doing it for me.
Our 17-year-old friend Kelley (“Glinda” – the fox in the pink) attends the Texas State School for the Blind in Austin, which presented “The Wizard of Oz” to a packed auditorium Saturday night. All six of us were fascinated by the actors’ precise movements (often following finger snaps behind the curtain), vocal projection and script transitions. I would not have known many of the performers were blind had they not used canes. Keith visited with one of the school’s teachers who admitted the actors’ running up and down the aisles gave her “pause.” The students rehearsed three hours every evening for months. It showed.
Hannah and Julia joined about 20 other kiddos in presenting “Down by the Creekbank” at church Sunday night. Julia and friends (cousins to each other) Kayla and Jenna sang “I Am Adopted.” “I’m adopted, I’m chosen, I bear my father’s name. Living a life of luxury in a castle with the king.” (Don’t get the swelled head, Keith.) Rachel asked me why other adopted choir kiddos didn’t join them at the mike. Well, duh! Because Julia, Kayla and Jenna were the cutest! Absolutely the cutest! I say this will all maternal modesty.
Hannah (pink shirt) and friends Kaylynn and Bailey trio’ed “Love Is.” Hannah participated in her first multi-school Solo/Ensemble competition on Saturday, too, scoring really well. Love Is….hearing your child practice and knowing she’s good.
At the same mutli-school Solo/Ensemble competition Saturday, Bush Middle School had 91 voice soloists, five piano soloists, and 79 Ensemble members represent it, bringing home a total of 175 medals. The Ensemble to which Lois belonged sang “The King Of Love,” and was one of two Ensembles denoted as “Outstanding Performers” among the dozens that competed. And – like Hannah – she scored really well on her Solo. Somehow, I ended up chaperoning at the competition. (“Get in line. Did you sign in? The drinking fountain is over there.”) The news of her Ensemble award was music to my ears.
Way to go, Lo! You really cleaned up!
