Musical Review

Luke and Lindsey wrapped up their theater year with the musical review.  It was big band style with music, dancing and singing.  Luke played the trumpet with his jazz band for most of the show and Lindsey sang a few musical numbers in small groups and large.  Both Luke and Lindsey had great experiences in the musical and theater programs at Legacy Junior High this year.  A big thanks to the teachers who encourage and inspire in these areas.


 
Lindsey had her last Madrigals recital where they performed parts of Les Miserables.  It was very well done.  Lindsey has loved being in Madrigals and looks forward to doing it again next year.  She made some good friends and memories.  I know she is a little sad that most of those friends are moving on to high school next year but she does look forward to being "at the top" as she puts it.
 


 
Luke also had his last band recital.  The last one of the season is always the best because they have improved so much.  This year's final recital did not disappoint.  There was a little bit of sadness at the end when they played the slide show and presented Mr. Madsen with a gift.  Luke started with no knowledge of the trumpet when he began band and has ended with a love for his instrument.  It has been fun to watch him excel in this area and a lot of the credit goes to a good teacher that inspired him.  He will continue to participate in band at the high school and we look forward to watching him there.
