I flew into town on Wednesday, and have been having a lovely time here with my family. I do miss my BN, and I&#8217;m sorry that he missed the show &#8211; it was quite a show!<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"image76\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/PinaforeGinny.jpg\" alt=\"GN as Josephine\" \/><\/p>\n<p>14-year-old GC has been taking voice lessons with our sister-in-law, SW, who was the musical director of the production. GC absolutely blew us away with her confident, flawless and spirited performance. She sang 4 or 5 solos, technically challenging music, in such a professional and beautiful voice that I could hardly believe it was my little sister up there with her flowing gown and operatic technique. I am so impressed with GC&#8217;s progress in vocal skill and how much SW has taught her. Bravo, encore!<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"image78\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/PinaforeHannah.jpg\" alt=\"HN as Sister\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am also extremely proud of my littlest, HN, for throwing her enthusiasm and effort whole-heartedly into the play. She played a prominent member of the &#8220;sisters, cousins and aunts&#8221; of the Admiral Sir Joseph. She performed her moves, choreography, and singing with focused precision. She sacrificed her comfort for days leading up to the performance, spending the night in curlers.<\/p>\n<p>I was so impressed with this talented group of kids and thoroughly enjoyed the performance.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"image79\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/PinaforeCast.jpg\" alt=\"Cast of HMS Pinafore\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My beautiful and talented little sisters performed in HMS Pinafore this weekend, and I was lucky enough to have the <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
