A month ago I got an email from an administrator in our district asking if Monroe would like to participate in a singing group. The group would include students from kindergarten to 12th grade and some teachers, and they would perform at the back-to-school assembly for GIPS staff. She was nominated by her music teacher, which I thought was so cool!
The first rehearsal was very overwhelming. She was one of the youngest ones. They started by warming up the choir with scales. Thankfully, we had listened to the two songs a lot leading up to the practice, so she knew them. The choreography was another story. The songs were choreographed by high schoolers, who said it was really easy. It wasn't easy for a six-year-old. We learned just one song that first night, and we practiced every day that week. The second song was a ballad, so I was hoping they'd just stand and sing it. Nope. This choreography was harder. We spent our practice time at home working on it for the next two weeks. Being one of the youngest, I knew she'd be in the front row, so she had to know it.
Monroe rocked the performance, and she loved every minute of it! She asked the director when she got to do it again.
