Show Choir Banquet

Cora had an interesting experience in Show Choir this year. She loved the performing, but there were other aspects she didn't love, and she decided to not continue with it for next year. But, she DID decide to attend the annual year-end banquet. Many families go as well, so I accompanied her. Might be our only high school banquet...

It was fun to have a reason to get dressed up and go to The Odyssey banquet restaurant in Granada Hills. 

Here's Cora with Abby, her choir "big sibling," who happened to be star in many of the top choir's productions. 

These are the Show Choir Theater kids! They're in different choirs, but all were in Gatsby and R&G this year. I was grateful one of Cora's friends shared the photo.
 

Cora will miss Eric next year! He starred in Gatsby, stole scenes in R&G, and was an amazing performer in the Sound Vibes and Unleashed choirs.

After the dinner came awards time, and Cora won one of the awards! She was honored as Hart 'N Soul's Most Improved Singer, as voted on by her peers. Considering she'd had no formal singing training prior to this year, it was sweet to know her fellow singers recognized her improvement.

You can just barely see Cora rushing off the stage after getting her award. She doesn't like this kind of attention!

All in all, it was a lovely evening.
