Jr. High Assembly

Remember when Eric sang in a band in front of the whole school not too long ago for the jr. high talent show? Well, he was asked a couple of weeks ago to do a few more songs for an assembly. That assembly was today!

I must admit, I slept a little better than last time, but the all-too-familiar NOT singing in front of me still occured and even though I had heard him once before, I was still anxious to hear the new songs. I listened intently over the past few days for any "silent" rehearsing on his part and even heard a few notes along the way.....but not much!

I wasn't as nervous driving to the school today as I was the first time, but was excited with anticipation once again. I even sat quite camly through the assembly waiting for his time to perform. Alas, the time came and do you think I controlled my emotions this time?

NOT A CHANCE!

I still cried like a baby and the camera shook as it did before. And I was so proud!

He was originally supposed to do "snippets" of a few songs, but in the end, the band only did one at the end of the assembly. And of course it was wonderful!

This was taken before the assembly began. I guess he was a little stressed. Actually this is just a really horrible picture. He really is quite charming, for the most part! :) But I've got to say that he hasn't slept much the last couple of nights.....(maybe he's a little more like me that we previously thought).

This is a little dark, but you can see the two guys on his sides playing the guitars. I didn't get the drummer in there. What is wrong with me? Maybe if he does it a third time, I'll finally get a few decent pictures of the event.....but don't count on it! I'm too much of a mess during these times....

But, hopefully, we'll both sleep better tonight!

P.S. Eric is in a play at the end of the month titled, "The Paper Bag Bandit Rides Again." And guess what part he is playing? Yep, the Paper Bag Bandit.....will I survive it, do you think? The million dollar question.....don't hold your breath!
