Lydia has enjoyed being part of the Lakeland Hills school musical since Kindergarten. We are lucky at the elementary school to have such an amazing music teacher that puts on an amazing play each year. Every year over 100 kids try out, they have to make a big commitment to be in the play, but making it to play practice every day after school for 3 months, sports and other activities come second when it comes to a conflict. This is an especially busy time of year for Lydia as she is starting soccer, has piano lessons and attends activity day girls. This year since Lydia was a 3rd grader she was secretly hoping for a principal part. After trying out she was trilled to get the role as Duffy in Honk Jr. (One of the ugly ducklings siblings)
Lydia has a grand entry in the play, when the play starts their are 4 eggs laying in a nest. Lydia is under one of them and she is the last one to hatch. At each of the 3 performances she was all smiles as she cracked open her egg and showed herself to the world (audience).
Here are some pictures from some of the scenes she was in.
Lydia had a few speaking parts. In the picture on the righthe is saying "It's not fair Mama"
Below is their reaction when they first see the ugly duckling.
Dancing, singing, speaking lines, and smiling on stage,
all part of being in the play!
Every year Lydia is in the play she makes some new friends and gets to interact with other kids from different grades that she would otherwise be able to.
More than just duckling scenes there are some other very cute groups of kids. Below are some pictures of other parts of the play.
