You don't know how rare this is...with the boys 4 years apart, there hasn't been many times they've performed at the same event. I think it happened once before, at the 6th grade music festival, maybe. The EMHS Men's Choir is always invited to come show the 6th graders what they'll sound like in high school. But really, other than that, it's never happened before.
My baby made Jr. High All-State Mixed Choir, and my senior made All-State Jazz Choir. Both groups had practices Thurs/Fri/Sat and a lot of fun partying in downtown OKC hotels. They performed this afternoon in this beautiful church. The Jr. High Mixed Choir sang ZADOK THE PRIEST which is incredible. Their director was a guest from the University of Washington, and just seemed like a great guy to get the teens motivated to sing beautifully. They ended their program with a fun African song.
The Jazz Choir is probably the most elite of all the All-State Choirs (only 24 students in the group) and I'm so happy my senior tried out. He'd never gone for Jazz before. They also had a very accomplished Jazz musician as director who really got them "be-bop-zwey-oo-ing!"
The icing on the top was that our college girl came home for the concert. She knew it was a momentous occasion, being a former All-State singer her senior year.
I thank God for their voices and pray that they will always praise him!

What a special memory with your boys!
That is so neat! I will have to show Davis. He is planning to do choir at Cimmaron. This will shoe him how much fun that can be!
Have a blessed week Robin!
Michelle,
the real fun for the kids is getting excused from school for 2 days, staying in hotels (free), eating in restaurants, making new friends across the state!
Congratulations, Weston & Dawson!
Good pictures. Everyone looks good.
