Today and Tonight

Brad — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:28:22 +0000

You did a great job in the assembly! I don’t know if you could hear onstage, but when the chair group lifted the girls up, there was a big response from the audience. Some gasping, some turning to their neighbor and saying “how did they do that?!” It was pretty cool.�

Good job!

Don’t forget to bring a white elephant gift (get something from your house that “you no longer need, but someone else needs”, something funny/weird/zany/etc) to the party tonight. It will start at 7 pm and will be at Livi’s house. Check your email or cell for her address.

Don’t forget to wear your “ugliest” Christmas sweater. A prize for the worst one!

Also, remember the sewing party right after school at our house for those who can come.

Let us know if you have any questions.

After Tour Party!

Brad — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 17:05:31 +0000

Thanks for the great tour! That was probably the best tour we have ever been on in terms of no big problems, everyone basically on time to things, following rules, having fun, and being able to do all the things we planned!

As we talked about on the bus, we’ll have an after tour party this Thursday at our house starting at 7:00 pm. Bring your pictures, souvenirs, stories, and anything else you want to bring to reminisce about the tour. Tour chaperones are definitely invited! All team members are invited to come. (even those who didn’t go on tour)

We will watch the videos of all three performances.

If you can burn the pictures your took onto a CD and give that to us, we will compile all the pictures from everyone onto a tour DVD that will have all three performances, the workshop with Heather Smith, and everyone’s pictures.

Let us know if you have any questions.

See you Thursday!
