It was hard to narrow the pictures down. Here's some of the shots from after the 4 performances of Honk! Jr. - the SELECT CAST. Hopefully, I'll have the pictures from during the play this summer as we're not allowed to take pictures during the play.

As you probably know, Hannah had her performances back in April for Honk! Jr. 

In May, Moezart puts on what they call a "select troop or cast" of kids from all their classes from all over the valley. They pick from all the students to perform again for these very special shows. Kids from Surpirse,Glendale,Phoenix, & Chandler got picked to perform 4 more shows of this fun musical. 

Hannah was chosen to be the Mother Swan. She got 4 lines and was pretty excited about the costume & makeup. She was also a duck in the beginning scenes (those are the brown dress pics).  We're so proud of her!

It was quite a feat for the director to pull kids from 4 different areas and get them to perform together in less than 2 weeks. Each city had slightly different choreography and other things they each did differently. Hannah has had 2 straight weeks of rehearsals/shows except for Sundays. Practices went from 6-9:30 or 10pm each night. Four hours on a Saturday. Four nights of shows. After getting home at 10:30ish after each show, she had to shower & then I had to roll her hair in curlers so we were not getting to bed till after midnight. It was all worth the fun though. Hannah will now be suffering from what I call "PPD"-post production depression.  It happens every time. Sadness that it's all over-till the next one anyway:)

I really didn't see how her last play, "Fools", could be topped even though it wasn't a musical. Fools was so very funny. But this show was amazing too. Now I wonder if they can top Honk! Jr. in the fall. I am amazed at these talented kids bringing glory to God!

God's Girlz at Regionals

 The team with various awards.

Our girl. You only get one team plaque so we have to order a plaque for her to keep.

Regional JBQ competition was held yesterday & today. Phew! I'm so glad we won state and didn't have all that pressure these past two days. Yesterday was 6 rounds & today they had 5 rounds. Yesterday they won 4 & lost 2. Today was not as good as they won 2 and lost 3. Some were very close. So over the whole competition they were 6 & 5 and ended up in 5th place in our region. They still would have made it to Nationals but it would have been a little scary if we were still fighting for a spot.

God's Girlz has a reputation though. Some teams admitted they dreaded playing us or that they hoped we'd skip Regionals so they wouldn't have to play us. Teams were VERY excited when they did beat us. I overheard teams saying they got slaughtered by God's Girlz. One California team said they were excited & scared to play us. Another older gentleman told one of our coaches that our team was one of the most professional he's ever seen in 50 years of doing JBQ.  While the girls were disappointed with their losses, I think it'll keep them humble. We'll see what Nationals brings:)
