2nd Grade Chorus



About 7 weeks ago, an invitation came home from school asking for 2nd graders who would like to be in 2nd Grade Chorus. Detroit begged and begged, so finally I agreed. In doing so she committed to being at school at 7:30 (school usually starts at 8:15) every Tuesday. She has really enjoyed it and tonight they performed at our PTA meeting. It was really cute. She totally sings her heart out and likes to close her eyes and place her hand on her throat while she sings. That is how serious she is about her musical talent. She sings all the time. I often try to join in and she immediately stops and says, "Mom! Can I please do this myself?" I am glad she got to have this experience...especially since she's convinced she is going to be on American Idol someday.

*On a side note:
When we pulled up to the school Detroit got very excited because she saw her music teacher. She told us how much she loved her and then went on to say, "She is soooo great. She only screams and yells at us sometimes. Like when we are not doing what we are supposed to. That is so great that she only screams and yells at us sometimes." Wow, that is what every teacher would love to hear about themselves! :)

Too FUNNY!

Alisha is enjoying her choir class at school also. She started out in the general Girl's Choir but at the end of the semester tried out for Bella Voce which is the advanced class (not quite as good as Acapella). She was accepted!
It is fun to see her dress up for their concerts in her long black dress and pearl necklace. My baby girl is growing up...So is yours!
