it's an honor...

You learn something new every day....

I recently learned all about

the Jr High State Honor Choir

Kenzie tried out back in October...

Each school selects 4 girls/boys

and Kenz was super happy to be

chosen as a first alto...

Then we waited for the music...

there were 6 songs to learn...

all on your own...

memorized...

There were some "issues" getting the music

So the kiddos got it the last week of December...

had to be ready to perform by January 28th...

sure...no problem...

We spent a solid 2 weeks 

plunking out Kenzie's part on the piano.

On the 27th, kids from all over the state

spent 10 hours practicing together.

Their director was Ryan Murphy,

the assistant director for the tabernacle choir.

All 360 kids performed last Saturday at Mountain View...

and oh my beautiful!

They sang in italian, german, and english

and I could not have been more impressed.

eight part harmony?

from 9th graders?

WOW.

Kenzie of course became bff's with the cutie

standing next to her in black...

they text regularly...

along with a couple of boys

from pg and orem.

I am sooo not surprised...

that girls makes friends everywhere she goes!

It was a great experience for Kenzie on so many levels...

So glad she has the confidence to do these things

and just be who she knows she is.

We should be getting a recording of the songs soon...

I'll try and post a couple of them so you

can be amazed along with me :)
