Annie, Get Your Gun: Northwest High School. January 2009
These lovely ladies were the 3 leads and they were outstanding!!! A boy in our ward had the role as Buffalo Bill and he was outstanding! We were so impressed by the singing, the acting, the costumes and stage scenery.
Maddie was lucky enough to be cast as a "little girl" in this local high school musical. She went to rehearsals daily for 3 hours and all day Saturdays for about a month. I thought for sure she would be bored, but, as we are discovering, acting and singing are her loves, because she would say after an 8 hour rehearsal (where again, she had no lines), "I had a great time!"
She is currently rehearsing for a play with her middle school, a One Act play for a UIL (University Interscholastic League) competition this Friday. It is about the Halocaust and she plays a young child in a camp with other kids. She has rehearsed before school for over two months and after school for a month. So, she is at school from 7:30am until 5pm. Crazy!!!!!!! The school day here in TX is longer (the normal schedule is from 9-4pm for middle, and 7:50-2:50 for elementary) than anywhere we have ever lived. We don't love it! I miss the kids and want them home for a few more hours in the day--summer is coming and we are looking forward to sleeping in (til 7:30 at least) and swimming, College For Kids (at TCC were I work...more to come on that), grilling, hanging out, movie night, visiting friends and family, having NO plans! Yea!
