Those of you with daughters...

How many times have you had that moment that puts a lump in your throat, realizing they are no longer little girls... I've had a few, mostly at any chorus concert where she has had a solo... She's been loving being in chorus and drama productions at school, so we didn't hesitate when she asked a few months ago if she could take private voice lessons. She told me she had a solo coming up at awards night a few weeks ago... glad I got there early enough to get in the front row, but after the first 3 or 4 words, I was wishing I had brought some sunglasses... Seventeen years... where did it go?!?

My oldest, 21, just came home after 8 months in japan. Now all she can talk about is finishing college and going back to live there. gulp

72 hrs of fishing SoCo, not a felony in all 50 states.

Beautiful voice! You must be very proud!

My daughter danced from age 4 to 18. Went every year to her recital and loved it. Now at 24, she just joined a small group and danced Sat nite. Loved seeing her enjoying her dancing again.

awesome talent. Congrats. Lots of hard work there I'll bet. I have an 11 year old daughter who sings and plays piano since 5 and I get more nervous then her during recitals. I hope, pray, that she enjoys and continues with this for the rest of her life. I need someone to entertain me while I am stuck on the couch in old age. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the kind words... You bet I'm proud! She made "States" this year and last year, and got an All-Eastern nomination this year, which I think she has a real good shot at... unfortunately we'll have to wait until November to find out. I should also mention she received four awards that night (top student in four of her classes... two of them were music classes, two were AP classes) and I honestly cant recall the last time I saw a B on her report card. Can't wait until her senior year... wait, did I just say that??

Wow! What a great kid. Congrats you are obviously doing something right. With a 1 year old at homei can only hope she can achieve like your girl has. She should really consider interviewing and auditioning for the Conservatory. She has an amazing voice.

My oldest daughter, 22 just left for California this am. I did'nt think it would bother me. WRONG
