Tonight, my niece Sophia sang a solo in her third grade class’ Christmas show. I was so proud. She loves to sing, and is working on coming out of her shell. Earlier this year, she started lessons after a music teacher at University of the Pacific heard her and heard what she was naturally able to do with her voice. The other night, she sang for my family in my living room, and I was blown away. She sang a dramatic opera-style song in Italian. I don’t even know what it’s called because I can’t spell it.
I love this photo because the other children are all looking at her as she sings a solo during a song from “Handel’s Messiah.”
And of course, the night wasn’t without glitches in the cafeteria theater. Sophia started her solo with a broken mic, so the directors immediately called a timeout. As you can tell by the other kids’ faces, it was catastrophe. In the end, the show went on and all those little kids shared plenty of high-pitched, off-key, super fun holiday cheer.
