Broadway Rocks

Tennie and Ceci performed in AISU's Broadway Rocks last Friday night.  Ceci was part of the 4th and 5th grade number, and Tennie auditioned and got a solo.  They were told to come dressed like rockstars, and it turned out it was the hard rock kind of rockstars.  Every number was from a Broadway play, but they were pretty obscure and were performed with a bit of a negative energy (like hard rock).  Geoff and I didn't love the songs, and we didn't love the negative tone of things, but we DID love that it was an alternative genre to help encourage more kids to get into the performing arts, and it worked!  There were 200 kids involved.  There was a live band too.  The kids seemed to love it.

Tennie nailed her solo.  Boy does that girl have a set of lungs!  It was a song from the musical Aida, which I am not familiar with.  I tried to attach the video but it was too big, so a few pictures will have to do.

She performed in a few other songs as well:

Ceci's large group sang a song called, Revolting Children.  Yep, that is the title, and it sounded just like you would imagine a song would sound with that title.  However, Ceci looked adorable trying to be revolting.

The whole group sang a nice piece at the end and it just so happened that Tennie was conveniently standing right behind Ceci:

They had a very nice fan club in attendance.

My dad's supportive wife, Babsie.

Some of the young women and leaders.  (Tennie's faux leather pants came from her adorable young woman leader, Charlotte.)

And some of the Utah Davis clan was there.  We had front row seats.  I have a sense this will be the first of many AISU performances!
