Music Says it Simply

My daughter Jessica is preparing for her music teacher's end-of-year recital on Sunday. Dina Mirskaya has Jessica singing Durante's "Danza, Danza", Webber's "Close Every Door", and a duet with Nina of Lehar's "Music Says it Simply". Jessica's vocal range is moving lower - she can now sing either Soprano two or Alto comfortably - so Nina's higher voice gets her the girl's part while Jessica sings for the boy. Since they will both wear evening gowns, this will be interesting. Jessica says that Soprano ones get most of the good parts.

Today is also the first day of finals at Harker. Jessica took her Latin exam this morning. We are putting together Jessica's performance outfit at the same time as she is discussing Victorian romantic poetry (for Honors English), and preparing for tests in Chemistry and Geometry. She already took the European History advanced placement exam and choir does not have a final test.

My son Paul does not have finals so today his 7th grade class is off at the Raging Waters water theme park for their end of year party. All he has to finish this last week is collecting money pledges for the countries he named and located in Mr. La Sala's Geography-a-thon to benefit Heifer Project. I think Paul made over $100. The 7th grade wants to collect over $5000 to donate enough for two "arks" worth of animals.
