Hope of America

Just uploaded some photos from Spencer's program on Tuesday night. It really is an amazing production. I think they said this is the 14th year they have done it. Over 7,000 5th graders participated this year from schools all across Utah. The students practice all of the songs for like 4 months. Spencer has been singing them at our house on a regular basis. Several of the songs are written just for Hope of America. It was a touching and entertaining evening that we thouroughly enjoyed!

Here is a photo of all the students:Isn't it cool how they make a flag?

Do you see Spencer? He's on the top white row, 6th one from the left.
This is a picture I took during the very last song, "We Can Be a Light". They turn off all the lights in the stadium, and the kids shine flashlights during the chorus. It is spectacular! They were waving their flashlights in this shot: I know that our country isn't perfect, and we have some hard times ahead, but I sure am PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!
