Senior Recital and Spring Shenanigans

A few weeks ago I had a senior recital for two of my most all time favorite Seniors ever! Cassie Scott and Alyson Jensen. They rocked it, I had so much fun working with them!

The next day was the big Spring Shenanigans concert. Wow- what a production this one was. I think I bit off a bit more than I could chew and was ready for.

A few of the highlights included:

The middle school doing a Princess and the Frog Medley

8th Graders singing Billionaire Glee style

7th Graders singing Loser from Glee and 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton

Bel Canto performing an Abba Medley, awesome costumes!!!

They also performed Joyful Joyful from Sister Act II, I was the featured rapper. Pretty hilarious.

The Singers class performed an awesome mini-musical of the new broadway show: Addams Family

Taste of Sound's big moment was their "In The Heights" set. They loved getting to dress inner-city/hood style for the show. . .and I have to say, I think this is the most professional set I've directed yet! They absolutely rocked it!

We even had FOG for the first time! This is a beautifuel duet ballad called "Sunrise" kinda cute because the two who sang it are actually dating in real life:)

Each group also did a "concert" set on the risers to show our festival pieces. Very well rounded kids!

One huge surprise was that I invited my good friend Cindy Anaya (who subsequently is auditioning for the TV show The Voice next year, so watch for that) to come and sing Glee's/Queen's Somebody to Love. We soloed on it. . .and kinda rocked it actually! I think the pictures give you a good idea of our intense belting! So much fun.

We ended with a HUGE Middle School/High School collaboration of We Are The World 25th anniversary version for Haiti, complete with the rap by LL Cool J (lots of rapping in this concert:))

There were about 175 kids singing for the last two numbers. Our alumni closer song is "The Blessing" from Celtic Women, love it!

The kids were awesome! They surprised me with a huge bouquet of flowers- the thank you's lasted about 20 minutes it seemed. So much help went into this production- so many people that helped that this couldn't have happened without!

Love Spring Shenanigans!!
