Christmas Performances

Mesa High Band Concert   12-03-13 - Josh plays the bass clarinet alongside Jacob this year.  This is their second concert this year, since they had the special fund raising concert.  I can't get enough pics of my kids before concerts.  They performed their usual Christmas songs - Mr. Brooks performs the same songs year after year.

Mesa High Choir Concert - 12-05-13- Danni is in Chorale this year.  She sang "Psallite!", "Winter's Heart", "Still, Still, Still" and "Snow, Snow Beautiful Snow".  I didn't get any solo pics of Danni, but I have some of her singing.  I love watching her sing!!

Taylor Junior High Choir Concert  12-12-13 - Mr. Meade allowed the kids to wear ugly sweaters to the choir concert, so the kids did.  It was fun to see what junior high kids consider as ugly sweaters.  Angel didn't want to wear anything ugly, so we found a white tuxedo shirt, but she wanted to wear a sweater too, so she is not really wearing an ugly sweater.

Mesa Children's Choir Performance for parents  12-14-13 - The Mesa Children's Choir did a performance just for the parents.  Usually they sing at the Citadel for other groups of people.  This afternoon, they sang just for their parents. My favorite kind of performance!!

Mesa Children's Choir Performance at Citadel 12-17-13 - The Mesa Children's Choir performed again for the Citadel. They sang in the dining hall, so there was no room for the parents.  I'm really glad that they had that performance just for the parents now.They were going to perform another group at the Citadel, but most were too sick to gather, so they just did the one.   With the extra time, we squeezed in a photo shoot.

Christian Dance at MHS - 12/21/13 - Danni was in Christian Dance this year.  She went to practices these past couple of months.  Christian Dance is a tradition at Mesa High and I was thrilled to see Danni dance on stage.  I was very impressed with the dances and the message that they brought to the stage.

Christian Dance at Temple - 12/22/13 - The Mesa Christian Dance company performed some beautiful dance numbers about our Savior's birth on the temple grounds.  This was the first time that I've had a child perform on the temple grounds.  It was amazing to see these girls share their testimony through dance.

The girls dance beautifully
