Moo's Last Spring Concert with NCC

 This past Saturday was Moo's last spring concert with the Nashville Children's Touring Choir.  Yes, the tour to Huntsville, Chattanooga and Atlanta is coming up in a little over a week...but for the most part, she's done with this amazing chapter of her choral experience.  There is nothing better out there, and if there is...well, then it's not done among better people.  We have been--and will continue to be--exceedingly blessed by the time we have had at NCC. 











 
 Here is a link to the spring concert at McAffee Concert Hall that was held this past Saturday in Nashville on the campus of Belmont University:
 (A fellow NCC parent took this video from a better vantage point than where I was seated.  At minute marker 3:15, the girls begin a small ensemble performance during the song, "Angels, Ever Fair and Bright".  It was lovely.)


Belle has another year ahead of her, so I will continue to function as NCC Librarian and Parent Assistant.  After that, well, Belle is hoping for a graduate assistant position during her freshman year...so, if dreams come true for my youngest, goodbye isn't goodbye for awhile.  Moo will move on to NYC--Nashville Youth Choir--the high school choir under the direction of Robert King.  It meets at the same venue and at the same time as NCC, and with a fair amount of the same friends who have moved up as the years have passed.

And that's a direct quote.

The following quotes were compiled and submitted by my eldest.

Belle: "Wait, Moo, c'mere...we need to talk...about important matters of consequence and maturity. And duct tape."  ~while attempting to persuade her sister to come with her to play in her room.

Belle: "I think that one of the ten plagues should've been extreme constipation."  ~right after the week of unleavened bread.

Pfftt. Overachiever...

The end of the final semester of Moo's freshman year is just 3 weeks away. I cannot wait for summer.
 Not pictured in the Engrade report below is her Algebra I grade of 98%. This is the class that she is stressing out about, because she doesn't get all the concepts as quickly and easily as she'd like...and occasionally, she just isn't able to figure out a problem or two. *GASP* Each time I tell her to lay back, enjoy the cushion she has between passing and failing, and just phone in the rest of the semester, she looks at me like I'm an alien. Sheesh. Kids these days!
