I gotta go wee.

I had almost forgotten about this act, but I don't know how I could have. Mike Redmon, Steve Bloomstrom, Ryan Anderson, Meredith Rose, Miranda Coleman, Ike West, and Jeremy Bowen star in this cute skit. (I hope I named everyone correctly. Let me know if I made any mistakes.)



Goldilocks and the Three Bears

So I am back to it tonight after a long weekend of work.  Darin, Kari, and Sunny were the bears, Stacy was Goldilocks, and Patsy was the narrator.  I am not sure that the story has ever been the same since then.  Enjoy.

Leader of the Pack

So tonight I got ambitious and decided to add another act, Leader of the Pack.  Mandy, Catie, Crystal, Breeann, and Christy were the pack and Rory was the leader.  Too cute.

I have been remiss in recognizing Stephanie Meade, our MC for the first variety show.  She did such a great job.

Rainey Valley PTA

In this blog post I give you, "Rainey Valley PTA", one of the most popular acts from all of the varietys shows that we did.  Enjoy!

So tonight really took me down memory lane.  To watch Rainey Valley PTA with Patsy, Dena, Jodee, Toni, and Debbie(I think) was just like seeing it all so many years ago that night in the Glenoma gym.  So much has changed since then but yet it still seems like only yesterday.  It is still so hard to believe that Jodee is gone and that very soon the school will be too. As I reflect on my anger and sadness about the school being destroyed, I do know in my heart that it is really only a physical place and that all of the memories can't be taken away.

Watching this video makes realize that the real loss was losing Jodee.  Just as watching Guitarzan last night brought back the hurt and sadness of the loss of Jamie.  My sadness can only be a drop in the bucket compared to the loss that their families feel everyday. The videos do bring a smile to my face as I watch them and realize how much impact both Jodee and Jamie had on my life and how blessed I was to know them.  Without my time spent at Glenoma Elementary, I would never have known either one or so many other wonderful friends or students that have come into my life during the last 33 years.  I feel so blessed to have been a small part of the Glenoma Elementary "family."  May our memories live on forever.

Guitarzan

So tonight, I was able to capture the variety show act, Guitarzan. The girls (Jane) in the act were Breezy, Natalie, Quedessa, and Jamie. Tarzan was Eddie Sanchez, and if my memory serves me right Joel and Aaron were the monkeys. (I could be wrong and Darin could have been one of the monkeys.) Someone correct me if they know for sure.

comments glitches

Once again I am trying to correct the issue with people posting comments on the blog.  Hopefully it will be corrected permanently.    Tomorrow I will try to add another video from the first variety show.  If people could try to post comments and let me know through fb if you encounter any issues, I would greatly appreciate it.

So tonight I figured out how to take a portion of the variety show videos and save just that portion.  Then I have spent hours trying to upload my first video, Put Me In Coach.  I chose it because it was a fan favorite, and the first one that I was able to save.

I wonder if Shon, Keegan, Todd, and Rory would be willing to reinact this. No doubt in my mind that Shon would, but I am not sure about the others. We could do a fundraiser to do some of the favorite acts again.What a hoot that would be.

I think I am going to have to upload this through a you tube account so I am not sure if it will be a link or actual embedded video.  Hopefully everyone will be able to check this out.

Let me know what you think.
