The pace picks up as school comes to an end. For Laurie, there was the concert yesterday, and project fair board due Friday, her dance dress rehearsal Saturday and a field trip to Fort Sisseton today.
For Michael, there are the AP tests continuing this week. Yesterday, Mike had an AP test in the morning, rushed to piano guild, practiced music for orchestra accompaniment that he hadn't yet had a chance to look over, rushed back, finished school, rushed back to get dressed, went back to school for the Pops concert.
At the Pops concert, he accompanied orchestra, accompanied choirs and show choirs, played in bands, sang in vocal jazz, played in jazz bands. He won a couple awards, including the Louis Armstrong award again this year, and he sang a solo with a capella choir. He was running back and forth across the gym all night long.
Here's Madrid, where he's introduced with "A little Marmy Magic..." (Marmy is his nickname at school). After that is A Capella singing Queen's Somebody to Love, and he has a solo part toward the end of the clip.

Last Elementary Concert
Today was Laurie's last elementary school concert, and therefore the last elementary concert we will go to as parents.
Mike has never been as busy as he's been the last couple of weeks. He had to miss the Boys State meeting because he was right in the middle of All-State Jazz Band, and he almost missed his piano guild session because he had an AP government test to take, but he made that one. They told him he rushed some of his pieces, but I'll bet that rushing to get to guild had something to do with that.
Tonight is the Pops, Popcorn and Pops concert. Mike has a solo with Acapella and is accompanying the orchestra. Right now he is practicing the orchestra music. He didn't have time to go over it before now. He's on lunch break.
Art needs 15 students enrolled before he can teach his Christian apologetics class. Two days ago he had 16, then it dropped to 14. Today, it's at 16 again. Sure hope he gets to teach this one.
Here is an excerpt from Laurie's concert:
The weather has been absolutely perfect. This happens once or twice a year, so I'm enjoying it.
Just working out camp details. Laurie's going to camp in the Black Hills this year, with her friend Tiffany. Should have a blast!
