Ashley's sophomore recital

The students in our music department are required to do a recital their sophomore year. Ashley, one of my RAs, had hers on Friday. I went and was not disappointed! She did an amazing job! She sang a nice variety of music - sacred and secular, upbeat and mellow, serious and light hearted. And she did it all while sounding amazing!

I had a little "proud mama" moment during the recital. I looked around me and all but one of my RAs had made it a point to come support Ashley at her recital. I work hard at building a cohesive and connected team each year - it seems as though overall this year's team has embraced what I've been trying to accomplish. It is part of what will make saying good-bye to this year's team so very difficult in a few months!
