Kindergarten Musical

The last week of school was a busy one for Will! The festivities started off that week with a kindergarten musical. The “kindergarten chorus” has done a couple of performances throughout the year, but it has only been a song or two as part of a bigger performance/show/etc….  So I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  Avery begged to go see Bubba so I kept out of school that morning and we got front row seats.

The program for “Dream Big".

The show started and up walks Will to the microphone and starts introducing the first act. I thought “oh how nice, they are going to take turns introducing the different acts.”  Um, no. Will was the musical’s narrator, much to my surprise! Evidently to his surprise as well because his teacher told me afterwards that they had just picked him that morning and he didn’t have any time to practice his lines or anything.

For someone reading a script for the first time, he did EXCELLENT. He pronounced all sorts of what I would call “hard” words (the one that comes to mind is “stupendous”) and he managed to use correct inflection and humor throughout the whole thing! I was super impressed! In fact I pretty much stayed teary-eyed the whole time.

Will’s part of the show was being a chef, which was fun since Uncle Gray spent some time as a fancy chef. He even managed to hold on to a wooden spoon for the entire show and not poke anyone’s eye out.

Some cute pics of the other performers.

Not sure why he is the only one standing up…

Will with his teacher and teacher’s assistant. And Avery.  We love them all. Sissy included!

Hard to believe he is going to be a 1st grader tomorrow!!!
