The Main Events

Well, let's go through this backwards, I guess. Last night was a dance team competition for Rozzie. This was a small one in Jacksonville and we were the only high school dance team there. There were a few cheer teams. All the other teams came from studios. This time, the freshmen danced and it made a really nice difference. They were all excited and they won!! It was a great feeling. We had lots of people come and tell us they had seen us in Daytona and were excited we were at this competition so they could see us again. We even had some tell us they had searched all over youtube for us. The coach went home last night and made them a youtube page, if you want to check them out!! First place felt really nice. Rozzie has been dancing around all day. The nice thing about this event is that it was close to home and FREE ADMITTANCE!! Travis, Morgan, and Maddie came to watch and enjoyed themselves.
For me, another dance competition meant "HAIR" and I did a lot of hair. This is how Rozzie looked!! That is quite a planetoid she is sporting!!

Friday night was Maddie's violin recital. She played "The Ludlows" from "Legends of the Fall". She was rather nervous but did a fantastic job. She has grown into a fine violinist and her musicality is really picking up with her additional music teaching in band. She has been a student of Kyle's for ten years!! We figured that Morgan has only 13 lessons left with Kyle. Wow...

The beginning of the week was spent at The Cloister at Sea Island, Georgia. It is about 1 1/2 hours away. Travis has the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference there each year and it is my privilege to go along. One night, they took formal pictures in The Summit Room which is the room where they held the G8 Summit meetings in 2004. It is an impressive room with a very large table.

Travis and I enjoyed our 3 nights away (Sunday-Wednesday). Then it was time to go back to school and face the music. Morgan had her All-County Band concert while we were away. Next week she has solo and ensemble performance assessment and Jazz assessment. Keeping them busy.
