The Music Man

This post is somewhat belated, but I wanted to show a few pictures of Sam and Savannah in our High School production of The Music Man. Sam and Savannah were both invited to participate through their chorus classes at school. There were 8 kids chosen between grades 5-6 and 8 from grades 7-8. From those 16, they held tryouts for the parts of Amaryllis and Winthrop. Savannah was cast as Amaryllis and did a great job. She and Sam both enjoyed being part of the production. It was a lot of work, especially at the end when they had to be at rehearsal or performances from 6:00-10:00pm for almost 2 weeks straight! But it was well worth it and they both cried when it was through. We’ve always been so impressed with productions put on at the High School each Spring and it was so fun to have the kids be a part of it this year.

Picture one: Savannah in the piano lesson scene as Amaryllis. Picture two: Savannah as a Wa Tan Ye Girl (Savannah is the second on the right). Picture three: Sam in the boy’s band (Sam is the first one in the front row). Picture four: Sam and Savannah (center) in a chorus number.

My meager contribution consisted of donating the vinyl lettering for the salesmen’s suitcases. You can see the main one in this photo:

One fun thing for the kids was that they were 2 of 6 LDS kids in the production. That’s pretty good considering Sam is the only 6th grader in his school who is a member of the church and there’s only one other member in the 5th grade with Savannah!

Wish you could have been here!
