The King and I!!

Well, the first weekend of performances of "The King and I" by Flint Community Players is over....WHEW! After a week of rehearsing until 11:30pm and then three performances, not to mention other rehearsals, football games, and the first week of school, we were ALL THRILLED to see Sunday! :)

Emma and I (I'm playing in the orchestra pit) had rehearsals Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last week. It was the first time they had costumes for the show!! Emma gets to wear a wig (since there aren't really any blonde Siamese princesses!). She was SO excited!!!






Then you add the costume, and she was hooked!







Although the nights have been long, and getting up for school in the morning has been hard, she's done really well in the show...







Opening night, Thursday, I decided to keep her home from school during the day so she could sleep...and boy did she ever! She FINALLY woke up at about 12:30pm when I yelled upstairs that she had a delivery!! Tony, Bradlee and myself sent her this! :) You can see I woke her up!!







That night, she got flowers from some friends, Ron and Pat, and we missed the delivery of flowers from Aunt Kat and Uncle Garrett!! Here she is....what a drama queen! :)










Friday night, the conductor of the Flint Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Roy, came to see her...and sent her flowers backstage before the show!!







She thinks it's SO funny that our living room and dining room is turning into a flower shop! :)




Saturday night, my parents came to see the show, and Emma just giggled when Boppa asked her for her autograph!!







This last picture pretty much explains it all....




There are four more shows this coming weekend, Thursday-Sunday (8pm Thursday-Saturday, 2:30pm Sunday)...call 810-237-7333 for tickets!!! :) Flowers are NOT required! :)
