Last night we attended the first Springville High School Choir Concert for the year. Stephen is in the Men's Chorus. One of the reasons we were so excited to move here is because Stephen has the opportunity to do both sports and music as well. That was not a choice for him in Elk Grove. Mainly because the school he was attending and playing football for did not offer a chorus or choir class. We had the hardest time trying to decide wether he should transfer to Sheldon for music or stay at PG for sports. So, he has been so excited about this! He said that when some of his football buddies found out that he was in the Mens chorus they laughed and others thought it was cool. Not that it matters to Stephen. He is very much an individual with a healthy self-esteem lol! (he definately does not lack in that area :).
The concert was held at Maple Mountain High School with the 2 High Schools choir's combined. It was quite a sight to behold. There were massive amounts of kids in these 2 choirs. In fact, with just the 2 high school choirs, there were as many or more kids than there were when we attended the EGUSD entire District Concerts where all of the High Schools performed. And the pianist's were many of the kids in the choir who were extremely talented. They took turns playing the peices that the choirs sang. And the Choir directors ,I would put all of them in the same category as Hebert, probably not as fun (lol)... but just as talented!
The Men's Chorus was amazing! I am so proud that Stephen is a member of this group of singers. It was interesting how the choir directors each took turns directing the kids on different peices. These boys sounded amazing together. They did a really cute number that reminded me of the large college men's acapella group that performed on the "Sing Off" last year. They were cute and funny and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Stephen had a great time being part of the group. I always cry when I hear my kids sing. They love to sing and it shows! I talked to one of his choir directors last night and she thanked me for moving here... she said "let's keep Stephen singing...he has a great talent!" I thought that was sweet.
I Love, Love, Love listening to my kids sing!
