Season 2

Well, it's round two of Aubrey's performance life for the year.  She is a member of Miss Margene's Creative Generations Musical Theater and she loves it.  It has been such a good thing for her and Miss Margene is amazing.  That lady adores her "little angels" (as she calls her students) and goes out of her way to teach them not only song and dance but life skills and kindness.  She is the kind of woman I am grateful to have as an influence in my daughter's life.

Anyway, this past week started our summer round of performances and Aubrey was excited to get going.  The group strutted their stuff in the West Fest parade here in West Valley City, Utah (a parade that meanders its way through the city ending at a local carnival). 

During the parade the kids just happened to run into Senator Orrin Hatch and had the chance to do a mini-private performance for him and then get pictures taken together. Margene pointed out that most likely (love him or hate him) this was likely the most influential man (in our country) that most of these kids would ever meet.  I'm glad she helped the kids take a moment to ponder the importance of our government and our leaders. 

Once the kids had trekked to the carnival stage they swapped their tennis shoes for their dance slippers and put on their show.

Here are some pieces.

(The yonger kids were playing backgroung "trumpets" by
plugging their noses and "aaahing" along...it was pretty much adoreable.)
