At the start of the school year Ledger had to make an important decision: did he want to do band or choir? After a couple failed attempts at trying an instrument, he settled on choir. When that choice was made, I knew what it meant: we would be going to choir concerts! Tonight was his first public performance in the choir. I, for one, was excited! I thought choir was a good fit for Ledge, he's always singing at home, so it felt like a good outlet for him to use and develop his lovely voice! He, unlike his father, has a good singing voice and can actually keep a beat! Thankfully, he took after his mother on that one...
We invited Mema and Papa to join us for the Christmas concert at the Allegan high school auditorium. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and quality of the singing! There were unusual songs, funny songs, a Christmas classic or two, as well as some well sung solos. Ledger sang a few of them, and really got into it! One of the songs they sang was 'My Favorite Things' from The Sound of Music. A month or so ago, when Ledger first came home and told us that they were singing this song, he was really annoyed about it. He thought the song was dumb and lame. As they continued to practice it and work on it, he totally came around, and by the time it was concert day, he absolutely loved the song! It was so fun to see him up on stage getting into it, bopping along with the song and having a grand ol time up there!
After the concert, Mema and Papa got to congratulate him on a job well done. He was proud of his performance, with good reason- he did such a great job!
