Move Over High School Musical


Emma participated in her 2nd grade musical a few weeks ago on April 20th. Todd took this video clip of the song just prior to her speaking part. The title was How does your Garden Grow and told the story of a gardener named Herb who was inundated with weeds and how Herb and the other garden animals and plants chase away the weeds. I admit that between poor seating, mumbled speaking parts, and general audience noise, I couldn't follow much of the 30 min play. Watching Todd's video was actually the best view I ever had of Emma in her part; as much as I strained and craned to see her on stage, my glimpse was fleeting of her magical moment to speak 4 lines as a bunny who talks about how pretty the flowers are. Emma had a lot of fun doing it and was so excited about it. She didn't get nervous about being on stage and she had learned her lines as soon as they started practices 2 months earlier. She wasn't the loudest speaker and could have slowed down, but not bad. It was great to see so many fun costumes on the kids and the set was well done for an elementary production. Enjoy!
