AWESOME!

One down, two to go . . . and the kids were AWESOME. Truly. Every line was said. Every song was sang. Every pause for laughter done right.

There was a fair bit of stage fright at the beginning when the cafeteria filled with their friends from third grade and the kids in fourth and fifth. I encouraged them to look at me, not at the audience, and they delivered! In the words of Randy Jackson, "Check it out. It was the bomb!" Even Simon would have had a smile for those third grade kiddos, so filled with heart and courage, that I was blown away. And so was anyone else in the room. I could not have been prouder.

BIG WOO HOO, Mom & Dad. You have really helped your child become an incredible, brave and fearless performer. Hats off to all of you!
