Getting Ready for the Tribute Concert and a Family Affair.

Here are some fun pictures of the practice on Friday night for the Mr. Moore Tribute Concert. Things are actually going pretty well. Some of the songs that I was worried about are really coming together. It is a amazing to me that you can take a group of people who haven't sung for years and throw them together to form a pretty good sounding choir. The woman who started this all is Deborah Peterson. I really appreciate all of the hard work she is putting into everything. I have put together events before and they are stressful and time consuming. She really deserves a lot of thanks!! The concert is only a week from today! Wow how time flies.

There is something magical about getting together with everyone. It is really fun to see old friends and to feel that power and passion that can come from singing in a choir. Do you know what I mean? There is an amazing energy and sometimes you get the chills!




Here is a picture of my Dad and Lydia practicing "I'm Thankful". Lydia is sounding really good. I never knew she could sing so well. Her voice really is maturing and she is blossoming into a young lady. She is actually going to be 9 years old tomorrow!
We decided to move into the gym towards the end of the rehearsal and practice some of the numbers acapella. I know! Shocking! We did manage to stay on key though.

I love this picture of Kyle, Eric, Rodney and Keri. Yes those are Kazoos! You will have to come to the concert to see what fun we are planning. Shhhh. They are a secret though!

So, some great news on the family front. Adelle is now in the show! Can you believe it. My baby is going to be in her very first play. She is going to be appearing in the first scene and in the Town Social scene. She is really excited. So now it is official. Our whole entire family is going to be on stage. I love that we can make it a family affair. I think practically every night now is family night for us.

Wes is SUPER busy making costumes. I think he is looking forward to the day when they will all be done. I think he may regret letting everyone know that he can sew. I know Erin Fair is happy that he can sew though. She was going to have to wear a horrible dress that made her look like a high necked pumpkin. Wes has almost completed her new dress and I think it is going to look very cute on her. Erin plays Dorcas.

So I realized today that the show opens 3 weeks from yesterday! Aaaahhhhhhhhh! Panic Mode. I memorized some more lines today, but I really need to finish that soon. I am also going to go to rehearsal early on Tuesday to polish up some of my singing. I really wish that singing was more of a strength for me. Don't get me wrong, I can do it, but sometimes jitters can get the best of me. I just don't sound as well on stage as I do in my own house. I feel more at ease I guess. Perhaps I am just trying to belt to much on the stage. I assume I am going to have a microphone. Who knows! Really just ignore this paragraph. It is just my ranting. Wes says that I sound great, but don't you think he may be biased? Honestly, I feel most at ease acting. I really enjoy it. Oh, I bet you are all reading this and thinking "Oh great I don't want to come see the show if she can't sing". Now, that isn't what I am saying. What am I saying? Really, come see the show! I can sing! I promise :)

Well I'll be posting more soon! I'll have lots of pictures of Lydia's Birthday party.
