Memorable Monday
End of Year Concerts

May 6th - Porter Elementary Concert
Josh was invited by Mr. Anderson to play with the 5th and 6th grade band.  It was fun to go back to Porter for a band concert.

May 8th - Euporia
Danni is taking a PE class called Elite Fitness.  It's a tough class that she had to qualify for.  These students in this PE class to a performance at the Euporia dance to show off what they can do.  Britt is in dance, so she was also in Euporia.

May 12th - Choir Talent Show
Danni and Cali sang a song from Enchanted titled "I see the Light"  .  Danni has an amazing voice!!  She wore her prom dress because she said it looked like the dress that Rapunzel wore.

May 13th - Choir Concert
Danni's choir performed tidbits of The Lion King.  Danni had a little solo in one of the songs too.  I love hearing and watching Danni perform on stage.  She lights it up.  It was an amazing concerts - one of my favorites.


May 14th - Band Concert
This is always a great concert for the band .  Josh was honored for making regionals, trying out for all state, and recognized for solo and ensemble participation.  He also earned his music letter this year.  Josh had an amazing junior year with the band.  This is Jacob's last band concert, so it was a bitter sweet concert.

May 15th - Taylor Choir Concert
Angela had her last Taylor Junior Concert .  She sang "Go the Distance", "I See the Light", and "Roar" at this concert.   I really loved watched Angela sing in the Taylor choir over the years.  She knows her lyrics and sings from the heart.  She has grown so much over her time at Taylor.   

May 15th - Orchestra Concert
After Angela's choir concert, I raced over to Mesa High in time to watch the Full Orchestra.  Orchestra has allowed Josh to play the clarinet.  Since Josh is only in orchestra for a semester, I always feel like a guest at this concerts.  I love listening to string players, it reminds me of when I was in orchestra in high school.

May 16th - Harvey Awards
Drama has the Harvey Awards.  Danni pleaded for me to skip these awards and I did.  Her friend, Cali won for the best play and director for the his play in Comedy Central.  Danni was a little upset because Danni helped write and directed the play as well.  Mrs. Stones recognized that Danni did help out, but she didn't get recognized at the Harvey awards.  Danni did earn her letter for drama this year.  

May 17th - Swing Dance
Mesa High had their annual swing dance and it was a great hit.  Josh didn't do Jazz Band this year, so he danced the night away.  I had a great time with hanging out with friends.  One of the highlights of the evening was when Joella danced with Mr. Cosselboom.
