Handprint on my heart.
The following things sucked about my day (this list first because it's shorter!!):
*Coming home and having no one to tell about how excited I was after the Expressions and Mini's first full show.
*Over-speaking and not having much of a voice left, plus having a sore throat.
*Playing "Don't wanna lose" on a crappy-sounding piano (which happens to be mine...)
*Not being able to find the Opera book to pick my last piece for my exam in August.
The following things in my day were so awesome I can hardly speak:
*The Expressions and Mini's first full show. Before. During. After.
*Giving them the "I'm proud of you" talk after the show, and looking around to realize that they were all listening. Not just paying attention, but listening.
*Realizing how much the kids love and respect me, and entirely feeling the same way. So proud. So going to miss them every day of my life.
*Having my first bubble tea.
*Having my first bubble tea with Brennan.
*Running into Hardy Souls (Once a Soul, always a Soul): Amy Strawson and Alexis Summeschuck - however that's spelled.
*The weather.
*The sunset!!
*There was one more but I can't remember it now.
Anyway, I'm so excited about the summer show. The script is so very good. What I love about it is that each of the scenes make sense on their own, for when the performance is in a situation where people are coming and going; but it also ties together at the beginning and end. Besides this, it's fricken hilarious, and I must say I'm very proud of the way it turned out. The songs are so very good. The Expressions get better at doing harmonies all the time, and the Minis have grown so much as performers. I love watching kids on stage that have come so far and overcome so many obstacles to be with us. Jenny N.B. has entirely impressed me. I'm so proud of how far she's come dramatically, and as a singer and dancer. She deserves many gold stars. I can see how much all of the kids are growing as performers, people, and teammates, and it is so incredibly satisfying. I think part of this pride is that I had a much bigger hand in the overall production and planning of the show than last year. Although I entirely loved doing the sound last year and wouldn't change that experience at all, it's great to be able to sit and watch from the audience this year, and take notes from there.
It's all coming together.
Well, I promised my daddy the computer. I'm gonna go memorize some music!

ps> It was seeing little Mikaela and playing with her after the show.

Ahh I'm so glad to hear everything is going so well. Are either of the groups performing at the Ex? speaking of which- when is the EX? maybe I'll even be home to see them this year.
I'm the most happy that you get your one last kick at the cat, well at teaching YOUR kids one of the things that are so pationate (OK so I didn't spell that right) and do so well. Anyways, enjoy the rest of your summer before u run away from us. Good luck finding that perfect song to finish your voice lessons!
