Saturday Night!

The week of song, music and dance ended last night to a wonderful show full of laughter, music, dance, song and teamwork. The smiles of all participants and audience members after the show told the whole story. As we watched the show unfold...the thought that this was all done in one week with a group of kids that for the most part, didn't know each other before Sunday speaks volumes for the hard work and dedication put forth by all involved.

Nancy shared with me a cute story that happened before the show. As our Milford kids were back stage they warmed up together as they always do before all the choir and stage productions.  Someone mentioned "Hey you guys are so legit." Our kids said back.."Well we are an actual show choir." I love that.

Special thanks to Mrs. Lambrecht for giving the guidance and leadership, Sue Neamos for being my partner in crime all week, the parents for understanding that the arts are important and the kids who were the greatest group of kids to share a week with. You guys are all stars!

Friday Night

The kids worked their tails off getting thru all the music and dances. It really is coming together nicely.

Friday Day Practice

We are "Time Warping" through this week and saturday is quickly approaching. I don't know about the kids but I think the two Sue's are pooped! Illness, sore feet, strained muscles are creeping in but it doesn't seem to have dampened the spirit of the week!

Just to show you how tired these kids are ;-)

Thursday Evening

Tonight the kids were back at practice at 7 pm this evening continuing on with tryouts, dancing and song. The kids worked hard and as I peeked in this evening in their rooms they were still practicing their dances and songs. They are back at it tomorrow morning at 9am!

Thursday First Practice

Dancing and singing..singing and dancing. These kids are working hard!

During their breaks, they eat..unwind and talk about the days trials and tribulations. Sometimes...they make faces intentionally, while other times...it is just the click of the camera. Either way we enjoy the entertainment factor!

Wednesday

The kids were sooo busy today learning new dances and fine tuning their songs. After a few nights of late nighters and all day dancing a singing, it is a little quieter than usual around here. Most of the kids stayed in and ate dinner while watching movies. I snuck in to one room to give you a little peek.

Lynnea, Kate, Kalla and Zoe stopped long enough to pose for this picture.

Swing, Swing, Swing on Tuesday

This afternoon was another full day for the kids. We are sad to report that Kaitlyn did not get the opportunity to perform her solo at the show but she performed like a champ and gave up her lunch to do so. Good job Kaitlyn!


Singing and dancing...Macomb Show Choir camp. Today when I walked into the Performing Center the kids were learning two dances. Man....they are working hard!

It is really fun to see the enthusiasm everyone has for the dancing. Some people may not be trained dancers but their love for being on the stage shines through.
