Show Night!!!!

Jessica finally made it to the performance night of her big show!! She has been going to practices after school 3 days a week. It's been a time crunch with all the homework but she has done a great job and really grown up. Her show was a musical about a superhero convention. They used all kinds of songs from Broadway to Rock. She soloed the opening lines of Reflection from Mulan. It's just too bad she couldn't have sung the whole thing. She was born to sing it. This is her and the rest of the crazy cast in the dressing room waiting. Jessica has the unfortunate lot of being the daughter of a woman who took lots of drama classes. The make-up is supposed to be heavy!! You couldn't see anyone elses makeup from the audience--consequently, you couldn't really see their facial features either.

Here is Jessy doing her solo....

The cast was entirely made up of 5th and 6th graders. I wish you could have seen the whole show, they sounded great for every song but Reflection. Reflection was the only slow ballad-type song and so they were also singing very soft--it was hard to hear them but the red ribbons were pretty. We do have some video that we might be able to put on the blogger! (We shall see). Look for it on Thanksgiving Day!!!!
