Tuesday night, we attended the OHMS Veterans Day Choir Concert at the BHS Arend Arts Center. It was beautiful and patriotic. The choir performed patriotic songs and put together a lovely tribute for our veterans. The audience stood and joined in saluting the flag with the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem. The choir performed the fight song for the ARMY, NAVY, US Air Force, and Marine Corps, and the audience applauded veterans who stood for their branch. It was a wonderfully warm experience for our family to attend.
Reese is front row, third in from the left side. Great concert, big sister! We loved hearing you perform. Quincy was literally moved to tears and cried intermittently throughout the program, first with pride for her sister, then with gratitude for our veterans, and lastly in sadness during a tribute about the sacrifice of fallen soldiers. Big heart, she has.
Choir has not turned out to be Reese's favorite thing, this year. but our introvert did surprise us a little when she told us last night how much she enjoyed performing. Way to stick it out and find joy! We love you, Reese!
Here is the veteran poster Reese did for her school project to honor Grandpa Rob. The hallways at old high were
full of these posters from all of 5th grade. Great project!
