HMS Pinafore

My beautiful and talented little sisters performed in HMS Pinafore this weekend, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to see them on opening night. I flew into town on Wednesday, and have been having a lovely time here with my family. I do miss my BN, and I’m sorry that he missed the show – it was quite a show!

14-year-old GC has been taking voice lessons with our sister-in-law, SW, who was the musical director of the production. GC absolutely blew us away with her confident, flawless and spirited performance. She sang 4 or 5 solos, technically challenging music, in such a professional and beautiful voice that I could hardly believe it was my little sister up there with her flowing gown and operatic technique. I am so impressed with GC’s progress in vocal skill and how much SW has taught her. Bravo, encore!

I am also extremely proud of my littlest, HN, for throwing her enthusiasm and effort whole-heartedly into the play. She played a prominent member of the “sisters, cousins and aunts” of the Admiral Sir Joseph. She performed her moves, choreography, and singing with focused precision. She sacrificed her comfort for days leading up to the performance, spending the night in curlers.

I was so impressed with this talented group of kids and thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
