There's no place like home

after a week in the Emerald City. The 8th grade choir has been rehearsing for The Wizard of Oz since school began.

The week of the actual show took it up a notch with daily practice until 5 each day. Then a performance for the 7th grade during school hours and a second performance in the evening. The very next night Emily and her fellow Ozian went to see Wicked.

They have the sad face because they sat in the wrong place. (our regular seats are in the center, Emily always wants to be off center.)

Here is Emily's serious face. I am trying to think if I have ever seen it before.

Emily was a pointe dancer in the Lullaby League. She is far left in the picture.

The costume was interesting but she was fortunate to have a part among a group of 200. Apparently not everyone can sing as they dance on their toes.

Then she was an Ozian, fourth from left in the picture. The costumes were provided. She was lucky in green.

Not everyone was so fortunate.
