First Show of the Year!

Tonight was the first show of the year! It was really fantastic. Matthew sang his debut with the High School Concert Choir and Mary had her debut with a solo, "L-O-V-E", and as a member of Village Green. One young man sang "Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera. He did an outstanding job. The auditorium was packed! Don't the kids look great? Mary's friend is included in the picture. Tuesday is the first orchestra concert of the year. Middle School and High School. I think I might go a little late and bypass the middle orchestra this time.

Thank you to everyone who was praying for Matt. He is doing much better on a new stronger antibiotic. He sure was sick for a good 5 days. The rest of us seem healthy and hope we don't get what Matt had. Just got word that my friend from high school's son broke his femur at football practice. He is ~10 years old and needs surgery. Please keep Mikey in your prayers. Thanks! Our other doctor appointments went well. The doctors were professional and knowledgeable. They took time to explain things to us respectively.

We will celebrate Reformation Day this Sunday with a Hymn Festival. The West Michigan Chorale is going to sing along with us and we will also sing a anthem as well. The Chime team is supposed to make their debut too. We have a practice on Saturday morning to determine if we are ready. With a group of only 5, it is a challenge.

Well, I am pretty tired after a long and eventful day. Besides the concert, I had the MD appt in Grand Rapids, Quilting, gave a piano lesson and attended a dinner for Habitat for Humanity. I got the laundry done too! Yay!

Go Rays! They won tonight....3 wins to go!
