Another elementary school music program in the books!  Jake and his 5th grade classmates performed 8 songs from various movies on Thursday night for friends and family.  The music was really great!  I’m going to be totally honest though, Jake was ready to skip the program all together.  Primarily because the car was packed and ready to head to Memphis, TN for the ODP soccer tournament he was competing in.  If this guy has a choice between music and soccer, he will pick soccer all day long!  But, I’m going to say this again, Jakers you have a really nice voice!  Some people cannot even carry a tune (as we hear weekly at church)!  You are so lucky to be talented in music and sports!

I had to include this photo because it absolutely cracks me up every time we come to these events how many people rush the doors to get in first.  They are now posting these signs to inform everyone that is standing outside an hour ahead of time…

We were a little bummed that we couldn’t see what looked to be one of the best parts – there was adorable dancing occurring on the stage but we couldn’t see it because the students on the risers covered it up!  I caught a glimpse every so often when the crack between the kids in front was just perfectly parted.  I, for one, am super happy you made a wise choice to not skip your program and belt out a spectacular rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight from the Lion King.  We love that song, don’t we!?  Awesome job buddy – now go on to Memphis and enjoy your weekend of soccer!

XOXO
