Sing, Sing, Sing. I Like To Sing. I Like To Sing A Song. Sing, Sing, Sing.

On Wednesday, April 15th, Tausha left Meridian, Idaho and headed to Seattle, Washington on a bus with her school choirs. It turned out to be a lengthy trip due to one of the three busses breaking down. I'm told the kids were in good spirits and didn't complain about the extra time on the road. Lynda flew into Seattle where she met up with Ranee.
While in Seattle Tausha sang with her school choir groups at an exchange concert with a local high school. Ranee was able to attend and was brought to tears when she heard "Famine Song".

After the "Seattle fun" the choir students traveled to Pasco to be a part of the Columbia Basin Jazz Festival. As quoted from a news article about the Jazz Festival, "The annual Jazz Unlimited Festival has become a popular venue for high school music departments throughout the Northwest to strut their stuff every spring. About 5,200 music students from around the Northwest converge on CBC for the competition."

This was the first time Mountain View High School participated in the event. On Friday and Saturday night, two choirs from Mountain View were invited to sing as the last school performance of the evening, quite an honor I'm told. So, congrats to them and Mr. VP, their choir teacher.
Needless to say, it was loads and loads of fun to be with Tausha and the choir kids. Go to my Youtube page to view "Famine Song" and other songs sung by the Mountain View High School Choirs. Enjoy!!!

Supreme Kai Musical Abilities Tests

So I think that anyone in this family that has any musical abilities or talents at all needs to go and take these 3 tests. They don't take very long at all. Probably 10 minutes on average. Like I said, there are 3 tests. One for pitch, one for tone, and one for rhythm. I might warn you that they can be very difficult and addicting if you are like me and want to really put your musical abilities to the test and keep getting better scores.
Have fun with them and send them to your friends that may be interested!!

Love you all!!
