It was that time of year again....Show Choir tryouts. Jared went back and forth for weeks trying to decide if he wanted to audition or not. You have to
receive an
invitation to tryout from the teacher, so getting the invite was apparently the deciding factor for him. I was
surprised when he handed me the permission slip and said that he was going to go for it. He decided to stick with something that he couldn't mess the words up on and that would show his range, so he went with "Happy
Birthday." On the audition night both the kids went pretty late into the evening so Jared had plenty of time to get himself worked up into a frenzy. His face went completely pale when the teacher called his
name and he had to walk up on the stage. The first picture is of him really trying to keep it together and not break down and cry
in front of everyone.
Well, try as he might, he couldn't get control of his fear and he started to cry. Everyone was so awesome and cheered him on and encouraged him and let him know that it was alright. Then my friend Christin offered him 10 bucks if he would not only sing, but sing it to her. So, what did my little man do? He pulled it together and sang the song to her and won a standing ovation and 10 bucks! Way to go J, we are so proud of him. I think that I would have passed out right there on the floor and would have had to be dragged off the stage in a stretcher!!!!
Emma was just about the last one to sing that evening and she sang "Angel of Music." She practiced the song for weeks and did it A
Capella. Hello, hard!!!!!! She sounded like an angel and once again amazed us with her nerves of steel. People have a hard time believing she is so shy when she can get up there on stage and commit full voice to her songs like that.
Ethan could hardly control himself the entire evening and wanted
desperately to be on the stage. He ran up on stage several times between auditions and he was singing along to
everyone's songs that he knew. This kid is obsessed with music. He has several favorite songs and gets on the computer to get the lyrics to his favorites and likes to listen to them over and over again on
youtube. I guess we love to sing in this family.
