Austin's Musical Solo Performance

Austin had his performance tonight and it was awesome! He did a great job. He did not prepare me at all for a little part of it. The quality is awful...I had Steve in charge of our digital video camera, but he didn't push the record button and we discovered it too late, so this is a video of the video I took with our "regular" camcorder. But the sound is good, so at least you can hear what he sounded like. I have pictures on the dropshots page (Our Family Photos link to the right).

He did great and it was a lot of fun!!

Austin is so excited. He got a part in his school's vocal mini-musical. Not just any part, but he has a solo!! I am so excited for him. He will be the nerd. I can't wait to see it. He has had rehearsal this week twice and has also been working on the solo with his vocal teacher. It is Monday night. He won't come home Monday after school...he's staying there to set up and have a final run-through.

I still am in awe of how much he loves to perform and sing in front of others. He certainly doesn't get that from me! I remember how great he was in Through the Looking Glass and how much he loved it. That was a LOT more intense than this, but he didn't have a solo in that one. Who knows...maybe this is his calling?
