Getting ready for graduation!

 Spring Show Choir (senior night) is coming quickly and we are heading to San Francisco next week.  So I finished Anna's senior board for show choir. (Almost every senior displays photos from their show choir career.  Carolyn and Joel also included 8th grade on their board, but Anna's 8th grade year was during Covid and so they didn't have costumes and compete in shows.)  Anna said they didn't even sing and dance at the same time when they made their video (on an Iphone....so very fancy).  

Normally at Senior Show, they play the 8th grade performance, not sure how the Iphone video will look enlarged to the super screen.  

 It feels  nice to have something done for her graduation party too!

Perry Band Olympics

The McCleary Family has a big Perry Band Olympics Tradition.  Saturday was the end many events where kiddo (Matthew and Anna in the case of Perry) had a day out playing music and going out to eat (usually in Perry), starting in 2014.  Anna was in flute choir, woodwind ensemble and she had a solo (not pictured).  Everything was beautiful.  Anna drove us to Urbandale to interview her cousin Liz for a class paper, then drove us to Perry.  She wants to be more independent with driving on the highway.  Then after her 3 performances she drove us to the mall for dinner and to pick out her prom dress.  So it was a very busy and very fun day!
