MUSIC FESTIVAL

Little James was picked by his music teacher to sing at music festival at Pitt State. He was the only 3rd grader chosen to go. He sang in the 5th grade ensemble, consisting of three boys and three girls. They sang "I'm Gonna Sing". They did a great job. Then he did a solo "The Erie Canal". It was great. He was a little timid. We tried to tell him to relax, but he never did. He had only practiced a couple of times with the lady that played the piano. It sounded a lot different then the cd that his teacher made for him. He missed coming in on a spot but he sang loud so that we could hear him. The group got a one. We waited and waited for James score. We decided that we would go to lunch and them go back and see what he got. It was a one. He was excited. He was complimented by so many people about his singing. I think that it was such a great experience for him. Everyone that sang received a one. He is really excited to go back next year. He is hoping that he gets chosen again. I don't know where he gets his good singing. It definitely is not from me. I guess that all his humming around the house and singing in the shower has paid off. It is annoying sometimes, but I didn't realize that he had the talent of singing. Who knew.
