So this was Michael's 3rd year for the Washoe County School District Honor Choir, but 1st in High School. The try-outs were brutal but his choir teacher assured us they were going to be ready. For High School HC they expect a LOT more from the kids and the try-outs were MUCH different than the previous years. This year they were given a piece of music and were expected to sing a capella unseen and unrehearsed. They also had to sing in a duet, quartet and clap a piece. But, he got in and after many MANY rehearsal hours, the day of the big performance came.
Two years ago it was at the "Pioneer Center", and they sold out. Last year they decided to move it to "The Nugget", which was able to hold more people. Isn't he handsome in his Tux?
Richard, his mom, sister, his wife and my mom and niece Sarah were all able to come. I was not able to get pictures of everybody, but I did get a few. (That is their daughter at the end)
Michael and Trenton
They had 3 different choirs. 6th grade (Jared didn't try out, maybe he will next year), Junior High, and High School. I HATE that they are so blurry, but unfortunately this is what I got. The music was AMAZING especially from the High School. (Of course they had more years to develop) A couple of their pieces were so relaxing to listen to, I felt like I could just fall asleep.
Trenton and Christian
This is his current choir teacher, Mrs. Burt. She is AMAZING! Michael is really learning a lot from her.
I am so thankful I live in an area where the arts can still be such a major part of their schooling. Hopefully next year I will have two WCSD HC students. Until then, there are many MANY more concerts to attend this year with all three kids in Choir.
