The Wizard of Oz

Since we're not busy enough, Gator wanted to audition for a play at the Junior High.  He opened it up to elementary school children to play the munchkins in The Wizard of Oz.  I tried really hard to discourage Gator from trying out because I just didn't want another thing added to our schedule.  But I agreed to let her try out.  I was so proud of her because she had to prepare and sing a song in front of the teacher all by herself.  And it has been 2 months of rehearsals twice a week and 2 weeks of rehearsals every day.  She has had her basketball, soccer, and her social life to juggle, but she has done awesome.  I was amazed as I went to 3 nights of the play, these are Junior High and Elementary kids.  They did a great job!  I am so glad that she didn't let me keep her from doing something that she wanted to do.
