Allie is following in Phil's footsteps and has developed a love of singing. Two years ago she auditioned and was accepted into Bel Canto, a young children's choir for 2nd-4th graders. She had a great time and learned to appreciate music in a greater way during her 3rd grade year. Unfortunately, Bel Canto lost its director at the end of the year and the choir ended. Last year, Allie tried out for Children's Chorale which is a select chorus for boys and girls, 4th - 8th grade, with enrollment limited to 80 singers city wide. Because of the loss of Bel Canto, there was an unprecedented number of auditions for only a few open slots and Allie was not selected. This year when the time came to audition, she tried out again. They had to perform My Country Tis of Thee and do some other voice, scale and rhythm exercises. She was so nervous and was praying that she would be selected. I picked up all of our held mail first thing Monday morning and Allie was thrilled beyond words to read the first line of the letter...CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Weekly rehearsals begin in September and Allie's performance season will include a holiday concert with the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra, a church tour, and elementary school tour and the annual Mother's Day concert. There is also a spring tour that has not been announced yet. It will probably be close to Wyoming because they traveled to New York City last year.
CONGRATULATIONS ALLIE -- We are so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
