THE SOUND OF MUSIC
The auditorium was alive with the Sound Of Music as Melanie performed in her last musical for St Charles North High School. She played the part of Leisl, the oldest Von Trapp sibling.Friends and family showed up en masse for this performance. There were 43 of us in the audience taking up four rows of seats and we weren’t disappointed. Our brother-in-law, Jim, who is a retired high school administrator and has been to dozens of school plays said this one was the best he has ever seen.
The actors were well cast, their voices were outstanding, and the orchestra was superb.
All dressed up in clothing made from the curtains, the children are learning how to play.
Rolf and Leisl.
I am seventeen, going on eighteen. I’ll take care of you.
I am sixteen, going on seventeen, innocent as a rose. Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies, what do I know of those?
Taking their bows to a standing ovation.
After the play, joined by proud parents, Melanie is loaded down with flowers.Being grandparents to talented grandchildren (who are also really good kids) has it’s rewards.

I should check out the “Sound of Music” movie sometime, or, more likely, see a local play. They made clothes from curtains? 40 some family members there to see the play is a lot of family. looks great from the pictures.
Great post, Paul. You should be proud of your Grandkids. Great having Grandkids, isn’t it? You can enjoy them and just walk away and let your ex-kids take the strain !
