Spencer participated in a regional Solo & Ensemble Contest along with many of his peers, schoolmates and many other schools. This was his first year participating in this contest, which is for 6th-12th graders. He sang in an ensemble and also sang a solo, receiving a gold medal for each performance! Way to go Spencer!!! Here he is proudly displaying both of his medals.
Spencer was nervous to sing in the ensemble, which was scheduled first. But singing his solo multiplied his nerves a thousand times over! Rarely do you see this boy nervous, and today was one of those times. His song for his solo was the fun "Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious!" Rick snapped a quick picture during his performance as I videotaped. We'd put the performance video on the blog, but Spencer has requested us not to. So I guess we'll honor his wishes.
Here's our nervous boy singing his heart out ... and doing a fantastic job!
Here's the PROUD family after all was done. Both my parents and Rick's parents were in attendance to give their support.
Congratulations, Spencer!!! We are so proud of you!!! Not only for how well you did, but for doing it in the first place!!! Way to go!!!
We'd also like to give a congradulatory shout-out to Alora and Katie (from our youth group) who also received golds for their performances. And Brittany, too!
