Variety Show

The school year is drawing to a rapid close. What seemed like an endless amount of days and homework is down down to 7 days -- 4 half days, a field trip, a pizza reward party and a class party. Most of those days they don't even have to wear their uniforms.

Last Friday was one of the end of the year rituals -- the BBQ followed by a variety show. Through "Annie," we learned there are a lot of talented students at Ashley's school. The variety show gave us a chance to see even more students display their talents.

The variety show had 37 acts. Quite a "variety" of talents were on display. There were lots of singers, including one girl who is heading to NYC this weekend to audition for "Annie" on Broadway. There were also instrumentalists on piano, a teeny tiny violin (1/4 size, perhaps, maybe 1/2), electric guitar and drums. Also many dancers, both soloists and groups, and comedians.

Ashley fell in the category of comedian with her one minute ventriliquism act entitled "Doggone Funny." She wrote her own skit.
