Guys and Dolls

Abby's junior high is doing a musical production of Guys and Dolls this year.

Abby really wanted to try out.  She actually has shown interest in doing something like this for years!

To try out, she had to sing 16 measures of a song from a musical.  She would also need to learn a dance at the audition, and then perform it.

Abby chose "Let it Go" from Frozen. 

Her choir teacher told her that Frozen music counts as musical music.

She practiced A LOT!

Ben helped her pick out the best 16 measures for her to sing,  and edited the music for her.

Try outs were last Wednesday.  Call backs were Thursday.

She tried out, but was not on the call back list.
Abby thinks about 180 kids tried out.
The choir teacher announced that only around 60 kids would be needed.

Today, Saturday, was the day the school would put out the list of those who made it.

Abby's name was on the list!!!!

She does not have a lead role . . . but who cares!  

And usually I don't think 7th graders have lead roles anyway.

I'm so excited for her to have this fun experience!
