DKI End of the Year Performances

Today was the first night (well day, well ok today's was actually at night, but the rest are during the day over the next two days) of Drama Kids' End of the Year Performances, and they went great! The kids were excited and did a great job, and the parents and other family/friends in the audience were excited as well.

At the end of the performances my boss gives out trophies according to how many years the kids have been a part of Drama Kids ... 1 year up to 7 (I believe ... tonight we had kids getting 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year and 5th year. Although I didn't have anything like Drama Kids as a kid, the trophies brought me back to my sports days. I still have all of my trophies, medals, plaques and ribbons (in a box like the rest of my things, in my folks basement). :o)

Anyhoo...aside from that, today consisted of reading in the lovely outdoors as the weather was gorgeous and the rest of my weekend will be spent inside with shows.

Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have some time to send out a few applications to some of the things I've got to submit myself too.

And now, a little book and then some sleep ... and then, tomorrow, more Rockin' Drama!
