Oh this just hurts me to report that Drew just performed in his last elementary school musical!  Insert tears here.  Even though music is not always at the top of his list, Drew really got into this one and was even practicing songs at home!I feel a little bit bad saying this, but our school musicals are not usually very well done.  However, this one was organized, they had costumes, a backdrop, the songs were good, and it was just the right length.  Way to go Manchester Park 5th Graders!Drew was cast as “Morty the Minstrel” and had a cute little 9 word speaking part.   I had to google what a minstrel was…it’s a medieval singer or musician 😉

If you have a minute to watch these songs on YouTube, It’s pretty cute to see our little Morty Minstrel do his part…

After the show was over, my dad asked him if he was actually singing up there on those risers or was he just mouthing the words.  Shame on you, Papa, yes he was singing!  They practiced really hard for this!You can view this song (All I Ever Wanted) on YouTube below – It’s probably my favorite because Drew really gets into it.  Love it!

 

Everyone gives us dirty looks because we take up 13 seats…Drew has quite the fan club!We all enjoyed this production so much.  Great job Drew!  We are super sad this is your last one!

This video is so cute…Drew taking a final bow!
