Snow Biz

(DS is in the center, he's a reindeer)

DS tried out for the school play this past autumn. 40 kids were chosen out of the 100 or so who tried out - DS was one of them :o)

They practiced 3 afternoons a week from October through mid-December, for 3 hours each time. DS would get in the car when I picked him up appearing rather sweaty with a big grin on his face.

Their big performance was Monday night, December 17. Followed by a performance at the local mall on Thursday. The pictures I took were from the mall performance. (I should have turned around and taken a shot of Santa craning his neck to see the show).

The show was a musical with lots of singing and dancing. DS had to learn some dance moves. His partner was a year younger, but a head taller. He even had some lifts in there! And DS also had a speaking part! - Okay, it was only one line, but only about half of the cast got speaking parts! The performance was a lot of fun and we're all extremely proud of DS! (In the Spring he'll be trying out for a part in "The King and I, Jr.")
