Kaylee's shirt says "I performed in the 1st ever Destiny Academy Talent Show and lived to tell about it."
Today was, as you might have guessed, the first ever Destiny Academy Talent Show. Destiny Academy is the home-school co-op that our kids attend. Destiny Academy is designed to give home-schooled students opportunities to experience school-like activities. The talent show has been something they've wanted to do for a couple years but haven't quite had the parents and kids to pull off. In fact 2 years ago they tried to have one and only Kaylee and one other kid signed up. This year 27 kids performed 18 acts (there were several duets and an entire class performed a dance). The parents did a great job keeping the show moving and one of the Dads did an awesome job running the sound. They even had those great t-shirt made up for each of the participants. The talent show was a huge success and I'm sure will be come a regular part of the yearly schedule.
Kaylee performed a lyrical dance and Nate performed a short song, a capella. I'm extremely proud of both of them. For Kaylee, it was her first dance solo and she choreographed it herself (and learned how hard that is- I think she'll have a new appreciation for her dance teachers). For Nate, just getting up on his own and singing in front of a crowd was a huge accomplishment.
I'm trying to load the video of Kaylee's dance to you tube to share. I'll add a link if I can get it to work. Unfortunately, we hadn't quite figured out the video feature on the camera for Nate's performance so all we have of that is him walking off stage to applause. Talent Show Videos

That is so fun!!! You must be one proud Mommy :)
You should be a proud Mom Kelli. I've dabbed in choreography myself-it's harder than it looks. Good job Kaylee. Such young talent!
Graceful and grown up...I can't believe how grown up these young girls are- a few years ago they were just girls- not they are becoming little women.
Brooke watched the clip with me twice. She kept saying "Mommy, she is a great dancer. I wish I can do that!" She also started waving at Kaylee and saying "hi" to the computer screen.
Bravo to Nate for singing alone as well. That takes a lot of courage. Wish we could have watched that too....next year! Or maybe you could video tape him singin his song from home for us!
