As many of you are most likely aware, the 2010/2011 cast list for Homeschool Performing Arts most definitely was released on Monday. Some of you may have heard that many members of Coach Mailand's soccer team auditioned to be a part of the musical masterpiece known as "Brigadoon" (16 in all). Because all 16 of us men who auditioned got casted, there wasn't a single melancholy face to be seen.
Haha, I tried to cram in too many "M" words. I'll stop now.
Basically what happed was this...
Two days ago, the four of us Hartges kids were comfortably asleep at 8:00 A.M... Until Mom came bursting into the room cheering, "THE CAST LIST IS OUT!"
She might as well have said, "SANTA CAME, SANTA CAME!" because the second we heard the news, we all sprung from our beds and sprinted out of the bedroom... To the computer.
I'm quite positive that if we captured the moment on tape, we could have easily won the $10,000 prize on America's Funniest Home Videos. Cheers from one Hartges kid after the next of "I GOT IN!" soon filled the room.
It couldn't have been considered "A Kodak Moment"... It was far too loud.
I was pretty much the face of optimism that day. While in an overjoyed and somewhat "dreamy haze" I stubbed my toe on the way back down the stairs, which strangely... Didn't seem to bother me. Life was good, despite my momentary lack of attention.
Later in the afternoon we had soccer practice; the members of our teem who got casted were joyfully conversing about their parts and the exciting year to come.
Let me just say, it's going to be another fantastic year. Enhancing our skills, performing on stage, coming together as a cast... Unforgettable memories and countless inside jokes... Smiles, laughs, old friends, new friends... I can't wait.
Oh, yes! In case you were wondering; Rebekah was casted as a Goose (Aristocats), Nathan was casted as a lad/soloist (Brigadoon), Justin was casted as McGregor/Townsman (Brigadoon), and I was casted as Archie Beaton/Townsman (Brigadoon).
I'm especially excited because Zach Doerr, Andrew Stine, and myself are all casted as elderly fathers! Caleb O. achieved the role of Mr. Lundie, so he gets to dress old with us as well, and also sport a kilt.
To wrap this up, I am very excited for another year of HPA (if you haven't already caught on to that). If you'd like to see the cast list for yourself, here's the link!
Thank you for reading,
