CaTs!

Marcel's 3 younger siblings were all in their schools production of the musical "CATS"! We were able to go to their 2nd performance (11/4/10). They are all so VERY talented! The story was a bit hard to follow but we loved watching them perform!

There was a spot where Manuel got to dance with his cute little girlfriend and we loved watching it because you could see how smitten he is with her even from where we were sitting! So cute!

Also Dani had a solo in the 2nd half and she did fantastic! She is such an amazing dancer! She mesmerizes you with the way she moves and does such a great job at making you know the character! Like I said, AMAZING!

Gaby was so cute! We had a hard time finding her at first because she was in a dance group that was wearing masks but once we did we couldn't take our eyes off her! She is very talented too!

All in all it was a great performance and I wouldn't mind seeing it again! Everyone's costumes and makeup was awesome!

They had some interesting facts about the production on the back of the program:
~Over 100 students tried out to be the Lead Roles (34) in CATS.

~With all groups participating there were 158 youth in the production (10% student body).

~Number of collective hours spent in rehearsal since Sept. 14 for CATS=2941 (*this # doesn't include the many hours spent in preparation by the directors since April).

~Participating: 18 Seniors, 18 Juniors, 21 Sophomores, 23 Freshman, 10 8th graders, 21 7th graders, 19 6th graders, 15 5th graders, 13 4th graders, and 1 parent.

I thought that was pretty interesting!

Also on a side note, when we were all filing out of the auditorium it was extremely loud with flashing cameras everywhere and this kid was managing to sleep through it all! What a goof!

I've been to performances of theirs in the past and I have never been disappointed. They go to a great school (ALA) and I would love for our kids to go there as well someday! We'll see I guess!
