Before school was out for the year the kids were busy with extra curricular activities. Bowen participated in the school play again this year. It was a busy time with auditions last November and rehearsals starting in January and continuing until the 3 final performances in April. The play was called Peter and the Starcatcher (a Peter Pan origin story). Bowen had quite a big role as a sea captain in the 1st half of the play and then a minor role in the second half. His death scene was amazing. He is becoming quite a good actor.
Cadence played timbit soccer. She did well and had lots of fun. I wasn't able to go to many games with my teaching schedule but she enjoyed having daddy and her brothers come watch.
The boys had their final band concerts. I was so amazed at how well they played. Bowen's Grade 6/7 band had competed in a competition a couple weeks earlier against 40 other bands and they won first place. It was a great concert. Both the boys also spoke. Bowen introduced a number that his friend Ben had composed. I was so impressed how good the piece was. Ashton was asked to write a speech to thank the band teacher. He wrote the speech himself and it was funny, witty and heart-warming. I was very proud of both of my boys. Bowen also won the "Most Improved" award for his class.
I didn't record any of Ben's piece, but here is a clip from the concert.
