5th Grade Talent Show Try-Outs

At the end of the year the 5th Grade puts on a Talent Show Assembly. They have so many kids that want to participate that they all have to try-out for their part. We, of course, wanted London to try out with his amazing Piano skills.

But he said, "No. Star (his friend) is going to play and 1 other boy that I know is really good too. And they only take 1 of each instrument so, no, I'll try something else."

"WHAT!! London, you are really good. Try!"

So he did. He got up in front of this panel of Judges and played his (this Saturday) recital piece. The blond lady smiling at the camera is actually Aspens teacher. She told Aspen in school the next day that she knew London would get in before they even tallied their scores. :)
Have a listen.

He did so good and I was so proud of him. There were a total of 6 pianist that tried out. Star had gone first and played for a good 2 minutes before they stopped him. There were 3 others next, before London, and none of them were in there for more than 45 seconds before they came out. And London played a good portion of his piece before they stopped him.

At the end of school the next day they made the announcement. And low and behold London AND Star both get to play the piano in the Talent Show. End of the month, so he's hoping to master the 3rd movement by then. He's only playing the first 2 for his recital, but 3 weeks off, he should be able to get the 3rd one down in enough time. :)
