Janelle made Madrigals!!

Janelle auditioned for Madrigals this week. The auditions were quite in depth. The first day they had to come prepared with a solo, learn their chosen part on two different songs given them ahead of time (she is auditioning for Alto), be able to sing a variety of scales in different keys, and sight read a sheet of music handed to them. Then they all met on another day where they sang the two songs with the others who were auditioning in quartets -- one from each part. She did really well and felt good about her audition, but there were a lot trying out and only limited spots. Seniors get preference (if the talent is equal) and she will only be a Sophomore. 

We found out several days later that she made it! A few of her friends made it too. She is really excited!!!  

Jaiden tried out for Dance Company for the high school on Thursday and Friday. We found out yesterday that she made it! I was excited to find out about Dance Company. She had considered trying out for either Eshelles (the drill team) or Cheer Leader for the high school, but we we encouraged her to wait a year. I think this will be a better fit for now, and it is much more affordable!!! She will start practices in the summer and then every other day before school at 6:30 a.m.!!
