Eventually there will be video.
But it takes so darn long to upload videos, it may be a bit. In the meantime, here are a few pix from yesterday's MusiCamp:
Above is Brianna smiling for me prior to the show's start; below is her with Don, looking over the program:
Shortly after the musical began, she began to drive us nuts by ignoring
what was going on when it wasn't time to sing, in favor of playing with
the gold 'fringe" on the stage:
Yup, there'd be the others at least facing in the general direction of
the action, and then there was Brianna, back turned to it entirely. It
was so frustrating because there was simply nothing one could do about it.
One thing that absolutely blew me away was that one of the lead
characters was a girl who was adopted from Russia about six months
after Dmitry. If it weren't for her first name - Valya - one couldn't
tell she was from another country. Girl has no foreign accent at all.
Don't know whether she worked on getting rid of her Russian accent, or
if she simply has a good ear and automatically mimicked the
pronunciation she's heard. She has an older and a younger brother, and
it'd be interesting to discover whether either of them still sound
Russian. Dmitry has yet to learn to say 'hundred" instead of "hungred,"
and Carolyn and Ravinn enjoy telling the story of the time Dmitry
ordered "free" drinks instead of "three". Apparently the person behind
the counter was very puzzled.

Too cute. Our Aaron did that the other night at his church's VBS program. He was doing his own thing entirely, when his class was signing a song. Aaron knew it completely, but he had "other" things to do!
Kids! Gotta love 'em.

That's the one thing I like about the photo...okay, Brianna actually has her back to the audience, but it's not as if a few of the other kids aren't clearly intent on their own affairs, too.
