Daughter Alanna's Big Day Thursday Jan 31, 2013
 

My two girls are in high school, Kristin is in grade 9 & Alanna is in grade 8 even though there is almost two years in age difference between them.
Kristin has a birthday in January & Alanna in November.
Alanna is in intermediate band & plays the flute.
A few weeks ago, in band class, the teacher got the kids to sing the national anthem to prepare for the assembly.
He heard Alanna & was wowed of his feet--she is good!
He said, can you sing Amazing Grace?
She did, and he said that in Grade 9 she can join choir & be in junior or Senior as she is that good.
She & Kristin are praise singers at Church but it is really Alanna that has a real talent for music.
Well, to make a long story short, she is trying out for Gladstone Idol.
Gladstone is the name of the school she attends, named for a former British Prime Minister.
She isn't doing this for fame or fortune but as a witness.
She chose Michael W Smith's song off of his Worship CD called, "Draw Me Close To You!"
Pray that she is annointed & sings to the glory of God!
People need to realize that God is real & that there is hope!:thumbsup

Thanks for the prayers & God Bless!

Sounds like a wonderful opportunity to sing about the Lord!

Maybe you can share a video with us of her singing this song.. Would love to hear it :)

I could hum a few bars, no?
Oh okay, I will see what I can do, although the first stage is closed to most everybody.
I do have a cell phone video of her in practice.:thumbsup

Not you dingbat :) (sorry 'bout that admins)

We want to hear your little girl or girls who would have the superior vocal cords in the family.

How soon can you 'you tube' the songs?

You mean like pay per view? I could make some serious cash here!:happydance

Re: Daughter Alanna's Big Day Thursday Jan 30, 201
 

Very cool. The best of luck to her and I will say a prayer that all goes well. I am sure it will be a great experience for her.

I have a very musically talented daughter and know how much I enjoy the gifts God gave her. I also have the pleasure of getting to listen to my daughter as a praise and worship singer at church.

Thanks! One can not put a price on their kids using their tallents for God!:thumbsup

Re: Daughter Alanna's Big Day Thursday Jan 30, 201
 

Absolutely!

All j/k aside, I hope she does well and wow's them all! God can use her in her school to be a light for Him.

I is Joyful!:happydance

Re: Daughter Alanna's Big Day Thursday Jan 31, 201
 

Oh great! Kristin came up to Alanna & said that one of the judges came up to her and said,
"are you going to be singing?" Kristin said, "that would be my sister Alanna" as they often get confused for each other by teachers & students.
So now she has to sing on Friday without any practice (save tomorrow) with James a grade 11 guy who plays 5-6 instruments in the band, who will play the piano for her.
That guy has got to get saved!:thumbsup
She will sing Above All by Michael W Smith.

Pray!:uhoh:jaw:runhills:reaction

Excellent. Let her know that people she has never met are rooting for her and wishing her well. LOL!!! I love hearing about young folks who are using their talents and stepping forward into opportunities.

Re: Daughter Alanna's Big Day Thursday Jan 31, 201
 

Thanks I will tell her!:thumbsup

You are planning on video taping it and putting it on You Tube?

I will be patiently waiting to see it. :)
