Every year the show choirs at my alma mater, Layton High School, put on the Extravaganza. (I wish I had a sound bit with Mandy saying Extravaganza, but you all will have to just imagine it). There are three show choirs--Lyrics (all boys), Lace (all girls), and Laytones (co-ed). My sister, Melissa, is in Lace this year and has made it for next year as well. This night combines all the choirs and all their songs for the year.
This is Melissa in the winter outfit. Sorry the shot doesn't capture the teal skirt, but you will see that later. The winter songs are all Christmas. The choirs go to junior highs and elementary schools and sing a Christmas concert.
This is the full shot of the winter outfit. Melissa is the one with the mike on the second row up from the bottom. Not everyone gets a mike you have to earn the part for that song. You also have to earn your position by doing the best at the choreography.
Say cheese! Here is Melissa in her Lace spring outfit just before her time to go on. During the spring the choirs get to go to Disneyland. Maybe that's why this outfit makes her smile so much.
Last, but not least is our program and tickets. I love going to this performance because it is just enough of a flashback to high school to be sentimental, without the sticky high school situations, plus I just really enjoy the music. Congrats to Melissa for doing a great job and making the choir next year!

Ha. I said "Extravagaaaaaannnza!" before I even read the part about me saying it like that. I am SO predictable. Anyways, I am WAY impressed that Melissa is in Lace! (As a LHS alumni, let me just state for the record that the singing groups are amazing there, and it's a big deal to make it into one). Do you ever run in to anyone we knew in high school when you go back for concerts?
