The Last of the Last

The last couple weeks I’ve been attending all of Ammon’s final choir activities. I’ve been good about holding back the tears and trying to keep it together. Last Sunday was his last voice recital.

Mr. Al Kary Ammon’s voice teacher and AmmonIt was Sam’s first recital.

Ammon is also part of the Central Dakota Children’s Choir. It’s an all city high school choir. He’s been in it for 4 years. We attended the last two performances.

This is Ammon and his friend Kat singing their duet which earned them a star rating at state.

Sam is also in the Children’s choir but a different grade level.

Tuesday was the last concert choir concert. This year the performed songs from the group Chicago. It was outstanding and they were rockin good! I was dancing and swaying too much to be sad. Ammon took charge of all the gifts for the directors. He made everything happen. 

Last Saturday was Seminary graduati on too but I have no pictures because I forgot my camera.

This past Saturday was the final Jazz Choir performance   and that’s where all the kids and parents lost it.    

Ammon’s wonderful choir director Mike Seil and his best friend (my third son) Devin Roll.

This is Ammon’s good friend from Junior high Bobbi Jo Vandel. This young lady is Berkley bound. She was accepted to The Berkley School of Music in Boston. So proud of her!

Last night it was the award’s banquet. Ammon received many awards including  The Outstanding Senior Choral Student. It’s an award voting on by his peers.  

Now there’s just one more thing left, graduation.  Ammon is class president so he will be giving a speech. He will escort his class and the school board members. He will also introduce the school board members. It’s a day that will be bitter-sweet. We look forward to sharing this day with wonderful friends and family.
