On Tuesday, April 29th, Daughter #2 participated in a program at BYU's Marriott Center called "Hope of America." It is the kick-off event for the annual Freedom Festival in Provo, UT that doesn't end until sometime in July. This is a photo of the choir--made up of about 7,000 5th graders from most of the grade schools in the area. Daughter #2 is wearing a yellow shirt and is in the middle section above the flag. They sang a lot of songs and there were some dance numbers and such. It was a great program, just started late and ended too late--too many people and too much traffic. But she had a great time. She has been practicing songs for months. The last number they had the lights down and all the kids had a flashlight that they did various things with. It looked pretty cool. All of the numbers were done by students except for one group of ladies that did a little drill team number. They said these ladies ranged in age from 50 to 91 years old! At the end, they had the 91-year-old lady do a little solo number complete with kicks that I couldn't do and she ended by doing the splits! And she got up out of the splits easily--on her own without help. We were all amazed.
