The sound of music

Well, 'The Sound of Music' is finally over. I'm glad we're done, because it was getting exhausting, but I'm going to miss it just the same. For those of you who don't know, I was cast as Liesl, and Betsy my sister, was cast as Marta, two of the Von Trapp children. Here's some highlights of the play.

This is the scene when we are first introduced to Maria.

Singing 'Do Re Me'.

Here we are singing 'The Hills Are Alive'.

This is the wedding scene.

Beginning of act 2. Uncle Max is telling us that he signed us up for a concert.

A general has come to take our father to the army, but Maria convinces him that we have to sing in the concert.

After one of the performances, we had a cast party. Here we are in a tree house.

Some interesting facts about the real Von Trapp family. Maria was very overpowering, and Mr. Von Trapp was a meek quiet man. There were over twenty years age difference between Maria and Mr. Von Trapp. Maria refused to let her daughter marry for fear it would break up their band. When they escaped from Austria, they did not climb over the mountains. They took a train!

Wisconsin camp

The 2007 Wisconsin bble conference had come and gone. And what a time it was. We headed up on Friday afternoon and stayed through Sunday. On Friday night, our band performed. It was a lot of fun, and Lord willing we will be doing it more in the future. I also sang a song for communion on Sunday. The rest of the conference was spent listening to the family bands and the wonderful speakers, and fellowship. I must say that my favorite part of these conferences is seeing my good friends. We all live too far away! Volley all was fun! I'm getting better. ;) Now here's some more pictures. I finally got them up.

Medal of Honor. This was our first time performing!

A silly picture I just had to post of me, Tricia and Katie. I love Katie's expression.
