Little Valley Choir Performance...

With James O'Neil Miner "A Valentines Celebration of Love Songs Concert" This year our school choir was asked back to perform with Mr. Miner as his annual concert in St George. The kids had been practicing really hard on two new songs along with perfecting the ones they already now.

This year Rylee had one request that Reganne & Ryder stay home with a babysitter. Last year was crazy running in and out. Maybe this could be classified as a date night. The choir opened with "The Star Spangled Banner" sorry I am biased but they sounded better than Kellie Clarkson last week for the Super Bowl.

Getting their wiggles out.

Everyone get ready, get set, SING!!!

WOW!!! Did they sing.

As they started singing Do Re Mi the audience rippled with various comments of how well they followed each other and the director. Another comment was how good they were for being kids. They sang an additional 3 songs and blew our socks off with the range she has taught them.

They are the largest elementary school choir in the district and the songs she picks are ones that are really complicated. The kids make them sound so easy.

The kids were pretty bored with the piano music but they sat through the concert with alot more patience than last year.

Next performance will be at Tuacahn in April. I can't wait to find out what Mrs. Kohler has planned.

LV Choir Spring Concert & Art Show

Have you ever noticed as spring arrives the school year is going full steam ahead with activities, field trips, and projects. I have decided that they do this by design so we will look forward to summer vacation with anticipation. This week has been one of those weeks. Rylee had choir practice each morning at 8:00. Class fieldtrip on Tuesday, Field day on Thursday, and Spring Concert / Art Show on Thursday as well.

Waiting to start

Each one did an amazing job and loved showing off what they had accomplished. They also gave out cookies. What better way to end the night but with treats.

LV Choir @ Tuacahn Spring Festival

The Little Valley Choir was invited to participate in the Washington County School District Spring Concert @ Tuacahn this week. Wednesday morning they boarded the buses all 130 members and traveled to Tuacahn to practice with 8 other schools from across the county. They practiced, learned new songs, and made new friends. The concert started at 6:30 with a chance of rain. When I asked Rylee if they would cancel the show if it rained. Her reply "Mom, the show must go on rain or shine." There was no rain, but no sun either.

All 9 choirs together on stage.

Once again all the kids singing their hearts out together.

The kids all had a great time and enjoyed performing together. They sounded awesome.

Rylee's Christmas Concert

The Little Valley Choir has been working so hard for their Christmas Concert. Extra practices and wonderful teachers teaching them the songs. The night finally arrived and the kids were wired. They could hardly sit still waiting for the parents to arrive. As soon as they started they all calmed down an put on a great show. They sounded like angels. The gym was packed and again over fire code.

Time for a rest and no choir until January.

Little Valley Elementary Choir

Back when Rylee started kindergarten. She heard about the school choir and wanted to participate. Each year when school starts she has asked if this is the year she can join. This was the year they decided to let the third graders join. I believe the whole third grade turned out for tryouts. The kids started right away with early morning practices getting ready for their first concert. The first concert was for Veteran's Day during the school assembly. However, they forgot one thing. The parents in our school are very supportive. If everyone showed up the school would break the fire code. A quick remedy was for an additional performance before school for the parents.

WOW can they sing!

There was only time for two songs. They sounded wonderful. A little wiggly from nerves and excitement.

Their next performance will be for Christmas. We can hardly wait.
