Sucessful!

Friday was one of the Biggest Local concerts I ever did, and my group went out with a bang! a 4 bow encore, and everthing. For Vivace, the concert of Friday was one of our premiere performances with Tacoma Concert Band(TCB), and what a concert. Next up on the line up of concerts comes to

Solo/Ens. Competition where I am hoping my groups and/or solo will go to the State Finals. That will be held at Pioneer MS in Stelicoom.

Then in Late March it will be Bethel School District Choral Festival, and the Graham Kapowsin High School Choir/Orchestra Concert..

Hope everyone is doing well,

Christopher =]

Chandelier

The other day my mom was sitting at our kitchen reading her bible and drinking coffee. She got up to get another cup and she heard a noise and looked over. The chandelier was swinging and fell right where she was sitting. Had she not gone and got her cup of coffee the chandelier would have hit her and hurt her if not killed her. And people say coffee is bad for you, in my Moms case it saved her...

Porter

So Tanner's 6th period teacher Mrs. Porter just got back from school after her mom died and she is very rude and angry. So She had asked the class a question but Tanner did not know what it was cause he has an ear infection so everyone rose there hands and so Tanner did to. Tanner was asked a question that he could'nt here so he said "What" she had repeated it but still Tanner said"What" and then She screamed "Tanner get out in the hall" so Tanner went into the hall with his vocab sheet that was finished. Soon the teacher came out and said, so close that tanner could here, "you are a fibber and a questioner you need to listen to me you didnt do your vocab i was asking who had there vocab done and asked for you to come up and show me" Tanner showed her the vocab sheet and it was done she said"you worked on it out here didnt you" tanner said "No i did it in class and i didnt here you when you asked cause i have an ear infection" She glared at him and said " what ever get in class". Porter has been taking things out on Tanner and he tired of it. Comment on who you think is right p.s. This is Tanner.

The Sick singer

Tanner has finally got up to concert choir. Tanner has only been moved up since his choir teacher Mrs. Huss knows that he has had experience in singing through vivace. This is the first time Tanner and Timmy have ever had a class together and they say it is kind of weird. But might as well get used to it 1 more semester. Tanner has also been sick for the last couple of days and hasn't missed much school(1 day). Through his first day Tanner started playing the Don't stop believing and I'm yours and the whole choir came around and started singing so Tanner has made friends with the whole choir.....sort of.(not Emily known her since 4th grade don't like her but that's OK)

The boys have had to fend for themselves the last few weeks. I have been going to my Dads and staying with him for a few days a week. For the last 4 days now he has had chronic hiccups and is sleeping a lot more. He is loosing weight at a rapid pace but as of late his appetite has gone. His tumor on his L5 is portruding out his back and his pain meds aren't working enough to keep him comfortable.
Sundays Timothy has baseball practice and they are planning their fundraisers for the season. He has a new love interest... Alexis
Tanner gets his braces on Tuesday.. He is excited!!!
Christopher is working hard on school work. Still can't believe he graduates next summer.
J has been busy with work and Search and Rescue stuff, we're planning family vacations and some just US get-a-ways for the year also..
