WDHS Marching Band Color Guard 2010

When Kelsie announced that she was joining the WDHS (West Deptford High School) marching band color guard, I was a little nervous. This would require a great commitment from her and I wasn't too sure she really understood the breath of it.  I am happy to report that she has made her mom and dad very proud!  She practiced very hard and it has all paid off.  I am so surprised at the transition she has made.  It is hard to believe that it is her out there.  I will be taking many many pictures of her for you all to see :)

Awards

Kelsie and Stephanie both received 2 awards from the Fine Arts department. This picture was taken at the annual picnic at Soupy Island in Red Bank.

Another year of bowling...The Jonas Sisters - 2009

I believe they ended up third from the bottom which is an improvement from last season's bowling. Kelsie raised her average and had a high game this year of 183 (Jan 10, 2009). Not sure if Kelsie will continue the bowling or not; we will just have to wait and see.

Beauty and the Beast

The West Deptford High School put on this years spring concert: Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Both Kelsie and Stephanie made the cuts and had parts as "town people" and "flatware". Both roles were ensemble. They put in a lot of long hours and it was worth it. Kathleen and I saw all 4 shows this past weekend. Grand Dad and Grand Mom, Uncle Tim, Aunt Stacey and the girls, Aunt Anne and Lexie, Uncle Carl, Uncle Chris and Aunt Susan all made it to show. It was a big success. Congratulations to cast and crew for a wonderful performance.

Kelsie and Stephanie at Pops and Pasta Night for WDHS

We had a nice time at Pops and Pasta night at the middle school. Kathleen worked the entire night in the back serving food with Karen. Anthony and I sat with Mr. Fanelli and enjoyed the show. Some of the performances included: The Dance Team, Various Vocal Ensembles, Men's Quartet, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Brass and Percussion Ensembles, Jazz Lab (which I thought was the best). We enjoyed all the performances.

Homecoming Dance

Kelsie had her first Homecoming dance at the high school last night. She looked so beautiful. It's hard to believe that my little girl has grown up. We took pictures over at the Capri's house with Ali and Stephanie. Kathleen and Patty (the PTO) worked the event. I was able to stop by and see everyone. It was a very nice affair.
