To Shine on her Own

Received this email a week ago from Ate L's school music teacher/director:

Subject: Audition Results

Jr Melody Makers

Thank you to all the students who auditioned for character parts for our spring show. And thank you for your patience while we decided on parts. We needed to hear a few girls for a second time this morning before we could make final decisions. The audition panel heard so many beautiful voices last week and it always makes these decisions tough. Students who auditioned had to sing and say their memorized part. Students were chosen based on singing on pitch, enthusiasm, volume, and diction when speaking. If your child has a character part, I need them to memorize their lines ASAP so we can start rehearsing with the choir. Lines are attached.

Knowing our Ate L {shy, quiet, and reserve} we didn't expect her to try it out... Since she wanted to, we let her audition.
{I was even teary eyed when she bravely stood in the middle, took the microphone, and perform in front of the audition panel}.
We just hope she'll do well on the actual show, not to be frighten if she'll see the bigger venue with a bigger crowd.
By the way, this is their elementary schools annual big event - participants are Kindergatener to 2nd grader.

We are so proud of you Ate Elle!
