| School
Started! |
|
| Fall 2006... |
|
... This is the last year before Michigan
law takes effect requiring schools in Michigan to start the school year
after Labor Day. Both Molly and Miles hit the classrooms on
8/23. Molly is on the JV Cheerleading team this year and cheered
her first game on 8/24. If you missed it on the home page, click
here to watch her cheer. Miles will likely switch from
trombone to tuba this year in the school band and will be the sole
guitar player in jazz band. We're all looking forward to getting
back into the ole' routine of school, work, homework, and weekends for
goofing off. Read on if you've never been to this page before...
otherwise it might be old news. |
| Miles is a "rock and
roller at heart" ... |
|
| ... Miles is getting better and
better on his guitar. He's had some great gig opportunities
this spring. His band "Last Chance" played
"Blue Orchid" by the White Stripes at the Power Middle
School talent show. |
|
| In March, Miles performed with me
and neighbor Mike Willmann in the Power musical production of
Grease! We practiced from Jan-Mar to prepare for the
show. Opening night was postponed due to a bomb threat at
the school (go figure... think someone forgot their lines or had
"cold feet"?). At any rate the shows went
great. All the kids did a fantastic job. Mike's son
Kevin played the roll of Canicki in the musical. We had the
opportunity to show our stuff during one of our gigs at Steak on
Main on April 29th when Miles and Kevin joined me for one more
round of "Grease Lightning"... check it out... |
|
| Miles also plays trombone in the
middle school concert band and jazz band. If you ever
visiting and interested, ask me to put on one of his videos.
The direct Mr. Wilson does a fabulous job with the students.
The jazz band repertoire includes songs such as "April in
Paris", "It Don't Mean a Thing (if you ain't got that
swing)", and "Spinning Wheel". We're very
happy to have a new "rock and roller" in the family. |
|
| Molly's our "Dancing
Queen"... |
|
| ... Molly kicked it up a notch this
year, signing up for ballet, jazz, and her favorite, hip hop dance
with the Dance Electric Company. She's been working hard and
has had one performance at a dance competition. Check out
the picture of her hip hop troupe below... |
|
| This weekend (5/7/2006 to be exact)
she competes in another event in Walled Lake. We'll all be
there rooting for her as she takes the stage. This week
she'll also tryout for the first time for the Farmington High
School cheerleading squad. This will be a new thing for her,
but with her dance experience now over the past two years, she
should be well prepared for the challenge. We'll let you
know how it goes. |
