Show Choir Camp Part 1: Spectrum

Joel's show choir started today.  The show isn't yet named, but here are the lyrics for the first part of the first song, that kind of explains things.....

High from the mountain the song would begin

Bringing fresh snow to bless our town

White blankets of beauty would pile all around

And everything would be the same, but now

The mountain stopped singing two seasons gone by

Oh how we yearn to hear her song

Without any winter, our people will fade

Basically it is a Swedish folk tale where the snow stops falling and the town has to save the snow mountain, which of course they do (a bit like the opposite of the Frozen movie, where they had way too much ice and snow).  So definitely a unique story!  This is a break in tradition from a group who did: Titanic, Belin Wall, Sorcerers Apprentice and Swan Lake in the past......all stories that would seem familiar.  (Although last year's, "The Giver" wasn't familiar to those who hadn't read the book.)  A+ for originality I guess.

Here is the artwork for their beautiful costumes (last year they just wore their own black and white and then their own colorful outfit):

And here is the group, they learned 2 dances on the first day of camp:

Joel is in the left middle of the boys....maybe 3rd row up above the kid who has his head a little sideways.

The kids had no show-choir camp last year.  We (parents) saw nothing until February or something ridiculous.  Now - day 1 - we already get to see dancing.  I am so happy!
