6th grade choral concert

The 6th grade chorus and 7th and 8th grade showchoirs had their end of the year concert last night. It was really good. Cameron was a little disappointed that she won't be here to be in showchoir next year. But it doesn't matter anyway, since the Wake County Public School System has decided to cut all of the arts programs from middle schools starting next year (that's choir, showchoir, drama, dance, art). Awesome. I'm sure they didn't even bat their eyes at the budget of stupid athletics. I'd say about 90% of the kids on the stage last night in choir were the same ones I saw at the honor roll ceremonies all year long (including Cameron). So the kids that earn the honors for the schools get their programs cut. Jerks. But thank God they'll still have a football team. That's so enriching.

Cameron had a solo. It's hard to hear what she's singing - because for some strange reason the music teacher wouldn't let them stand close to the microphone. It's the 3rd verse to My Country 'Tis of Thee.
