The Curtain Goes Down on the Middle School Music Years

It was the finale of middle school music--for both Demi and us. We have spent a lot of years marking our spot in the auditorium in the name of middle school musical exploration, enhancement and parental support for all three of our girls. But like all things good the end must come. And the end is marked by D, the youngest.

She and her fellow Show Choir pals had the evening aerobic workout by performing in all three grade level choir performances. Lucky for us D said her last show, the 8th grade concert, was her best. Which in the end seems fitting.

D had a spot light vocal with sections of the musical number accompanied by the all famous show choir jazzy hands.
Despite the fact that I gag at the new sparkly blue dresses; I smile knowing D loves show choir, she loves singing. It makes me smile to see her smile knowing she has found her passion at her age and is already honing her craft fit for her future goal. Once show choir ended it was a quick wardrobe change...well if you can call it that by slipping the green choir shirt over the sparkly blue dress. Again D had a spot light vocal. Before Concert Choir sang the last piece it was awards. For the second year in a row D has been one of the few to receive the highest choir award--a medal. (Actually last year she was the only 7th grader to get a medal.) Sharing the same honor with her BFF made it even sweeter. What made us all giggle was when D's other good friend, one of the Solo/Ensemble quartet posse, said looking at her medal "D you are a choir champion."

Choir champion or not this final middle school concert was bitter sweet as so many of D's singing friends have chosen different choirs in high school to express and show case there talents.

Don't worry D tried out and made Limelight for high school...long live the jazzy hands!
