Our Children's choir at church performed their summer musical last week. It was very good (and yes, I am just a wee bit biased) Sam had a great speaking part this year!! His character (Chief) has lines in every scene (except the opening and the end.) He did a Fabulous job!!! Unfortunately, I did not get all of great parts due to technical difficulties... My camera died mid production. The back up camera was not working as well-- and most things ended up VERY, VERY blurry. I almost felt like the "crew" did in the musical, when they find out that the backup engine exploded (Sam's line no less!)
So, all that to say---- here is one of the songs. We were fortunate enough to be hanging out during the rehearsal right before the performance. Sam and Molly were on the complete opposite ends of the stage the ENTIRE musical. I knew I would be focusing on Sam mostly during the actual performance (which unfortunately did not happen like I wanted--- see above) so I thought it would be great to focus on Molly during the practice.
This did tape better for a few reasons--- the camera did not have to keep readjusting to the lighting changes and I was up close and personal. The draw back is that it is rehearsal therefore people are moving all about etc.
Molly, Molly, Molly. Well, another thing about rehearsal--- you get to see what she wants to do so bad--- sing right into the microphone as though she is the only one there.

The actual performance. Molly so wishes she had that solo for this song, I love watching her "sing the words" to herself (Kirk started taping here, he got Molly)
