Prayer, Pep, and Crystal!
Welcome to December!!!
Today, Angela attended the Naperville Mayor’s Inter-faith Prayer Breakfast at the YMCA. She was in charge of all the music and it turned out GREAT! She had a string quartet from Metea Valley High School, and a duet from Waubonsie Valley High School.
Everything went well until they were taking down the backdrop and stage. She wasn’t paying attention and got smacked in the side of the head with a piece of PVC pipe and it cut her open right above the eyebrow. The poor kid helping her felt absolutely horrible as she walked off bleeding all over to clean up. We thought she would need stitches but she just but a butterfly bandage on it and kept going! 🙂 What a trooper!
Tonight, Sarah and Brittany had their first Pep Band performance at the high school for a basketball game. They were really excited and love to do this! We love the fact that when they need to do something like this, that Sarah can just drive them and we don’t have to worry about that in our schedules!!!! 🙂
While they were off doing that, Kirstyn was put in charge of the boys and Angela and I went out on a date to see the Neuqua Valley High School Crystal Concert! It was a sold-out show. Normally we wouldn’t go to this concert, but the department chair at the high school is also leading the Art Speaks committee we were on and asked if any of us would like tickets. When we got there, there was a long line waiting to see if there were any tickets left. We went right up to the front and said “we have tickets per Chip!” When they brought out the tickets, we got a lot of looks from all the people in line. Some people that we know, were wondering how we new Chip and how we got VIP treatment! 🙂 It was funny!
The concert was really good and it is really amazing to see the amount of musical talent in our District. It’s no wonder that schools in our district are awarded Grammy status each year! 🙂 We can’t wait until next week when Metea has their Collage concert and we get to see Sarah and Brittany perform!
