Our Leading Lady

Sierra's big show was this evening. I have to admit that I was a bit emotional about it all day. You see, this show began as a prayer for her. She really wanted this part. There are about 100 kids in her grade and she was very nervous about auditions. She asked me to pray with her that she would do her best, while also telling God that the desire of her heart was to have the lead. She was SOOO excited to receive it. She was also so humble and thankful that God had granted her the desire of her heart.

She then practiced her sweet heart out in order to be ready for tonight.

Here she is all dressed and ready to be "the stowaway!"

Krissy was so amazing tonight. She did Sierra's hair and make-up. Then she went with Sierra to set up at 5:15 in order to make sure we got great seats. She saved us all seats until we got there at 6:30. (Krissy hates it when I snap her photo, she did allow this one of her and Joshua hand in hand.)
The show did not start until 7, so we brought along a few electronics to keep everyone occupied until the curtain rose.

It was a pirate show, the entire stage was covered by a pirate ship.
Sierra had A LOT of lines to memorize and several solos. She was amazing. She was poised, sang beautifully, remembered all her lines, and acted with enthusiasm.
Her classmates were equally wonderful. It was a very well done show. High School Musical does not have too much over this bunch!
We are proud of you Sierra. You did an incredible job tonight. I look forward to many more evenings watching you perform. May you always remember from whom your talent comes.
