Life is full of beginnings and endings. We go to Disneyland for the first time—beginning. We swear we will “never do that again”—ending (we hope). We say goodbye to a place we’ve lived forever—ending . . . and beginning. Well this week was one of those ending things for us.
On Friday (April 29), Rebecca had her last concert (at least for high school). Michelle noted that we have been going to concerts and performances of one type or another ever since Brenton was in elementary school. So after 20+ years, we are finally through with school performances. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure how I feel about that. I have enjoyed the kid’s concerts (well mostly, there were some band concerts that bordered on the painful!). This week was no exception.
The band was great, the stringed orchestra sublime, and the choir simply amazing. Rebecca sung in four numbers. They kicked things off with “Do You Feel the Rhythm”. They also sung “One Note Samba”. Rebecca and two of her friends stole the show with their rendition of “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”. Finally, they choir finished up with Queen’s “Somebody to Love”. Which (of course) is the center of my most favorite scene in Ella Enchanted. Michelle leaned over to me and said “Give it a little more soul!”.
So click here to see Rebecca and her friends sing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”.

And of course, Rebecca hamming it up.
