This is my annual post whining about snow falling in late March on my blooming crocus and daffodils.
I should be used to it, but I’m not.
BYU Young Ambassadors 2014 trailer
It’s a quiz! Can you spot the dancing Brian? We counted eleven appearances, but you have to be quick! Although there are shots of the band, there are no shots of the sound crew, so you’ll have to trust me that Mark is the A1 sound guy for the group. 🙂
Broadway Revue 2014
On Friday night we attended BYU’s Broadway Revue, presented by students of the BFA Music Dance Theatre Program. This is Brian’s major and he was one of the performers in the show. In addition, he arranged a mash-up of three Jason Robert Brown songs that were performed by him and four other students. One of them was Jack and he wrote a nice part for him. The mash-up was totally awesome! We love this show every year, as it showcases the students in different numbers which are choreographed and directed by students. Brian was also featured in the closing number, “Steal Your Rock and Roll”, from Memphis.
Mark and Sarah are behind Brian.
This little girl was holding her program in one hand and her mom’s hand in the other and staring at Brian while he was talking to friends after the show. I asked her if she wanted to talk to him and she shyly nodded her head, so I grabbed Brian and told him someone wanted to talk to him. He turned and saw the little girl I was indicating and immediately dropped to one knee and focused on her and spoke right to her for a few minutes. I got my phone out and got a picture just as he was getting up, but before that he was totally focused on this cute girl. Heart sigh!
Gentle Spectrums 2014
I had an invite from RIEDEL Fascination to join one of her new reading challenges and I’m always game for a new one. These go February 1st, 2014 – February 28th, 2015 so we’re not spending the holidays finishing books and posting wrap-up posts. Great idea! Also she’s not big on lots of picky rules so they are fairly straightforward.
