February Finale

 Ashleigh was selected to attend the ACDA Honor Choir Southern Regional Conference in Louisville, KY. What an honor! She was able to grow in true beauty and song, as well as, use her singing talent and love for song and music during the week. The conductor, Dr. Allen Hightower, was inspirational and provided many life lessons too. (I was able to sit in on the rehearsals. I usually stayed in the morning rehearsal for about an hour.) Also during the week, Ashleigh with Mr. Bennett's(her choir director) nudge along with 46 other girls tried out for a solo. She was the soloist selected and WOW what an honor. She was able to get some "coaching" advice before the performance from Mr. Bennett also. Needless to say, Chris and I were proud parents. Dylan was a proud brother too. Ashleigh is thankful for the opportunity and says "my voice has even grown since we came here on Tuesday (this was her speaking on Saturday). What makes this more inspiring for me is that when Dr. Hightower was explaining this song and its meaning to the students, he described to the students true beauty is not what one sees on the outside-it is what is on the inside-paraphrasing Proverbs. Truth and Beauty along with God's Love
