School Talent Show - 2011

In the video above Cami is the girl to the farthest right.

Last night was the annual Terrace School Talent Show. Once again this year Cami participated with her Girl Scout troop. They did some little dance about peeling bananas. The video above is a short snippet of it.

There are a lot of talented kids at the school and it makes me feel like a bad parent that I haven't gotten our kids more involved with something where they can develop their talents, but we're working on it. We're hoping that next year Ian will be able to play his bagpipes or maybe they can do a skit together. We'll need to get Cami involved in something she can do. She has expressed an interest in bagpiping. Woohoo!

One of the worrying things about the show is the number of young girls who dance to some of the latest pop music. Some of the music has some unhealthy messages for young girls, and some of the dances and lyrics are sexually suggestive. I remember one dance where three girls turned their butts toward the audience and started to sort of grind them around and there was a loud whoop of approval from the parents that were in attendance.


Here is Cami with her participation award. She was very excited about the show and she was very pleased that she and her group did a great job and had fun doing it.
