Last Spring Concert

The past three years I enjoyed the magic that happened at Notre Dame's Spring concerts. Ashley was rarely on stage, and when she was we snapped a picture (or two or a dozen). 

It was often her only moment of applause after being backstage during the other productions.

This year I thought the show would be canceled. On Thursday night, Notre Dame debuted: Spring Time on Broadway. The performers were invited back to school to dress up and perform one last time as students. The only thing that would have made it more special is if Ashley was invited back, too, to help, but we are in the middle of a pandemic and they were pushing the rules a bit to do what they did.

Prior to the show, the art teacher put together a video montage of her students' works. The video starts with Ashley's AP art portfolio because the students were featured in alphabetical order by first name. After art, it segues into Spring Time on Broadway.

Here are a few pictures I took while watching in our family room. 

A treat to be able to watch a show with Ashley

Not the same, but ever grateful Notre Dame did this much. I told a friend it reminds me of the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas." The disease tried to take away graduation, but it is coming all the same. Might not have all the whistles and bells we expected, but she will still be a high school graduate in the end.
