Tonight is the night!

So, we have been in Clinton all week working with student choirs, and tonight is the night of our first big public concert! I think the singers are ready and the kids are sounding great with them, and I personally am really excited to where my new purple high wasted skirt! haha

Last night we all went to an old fashioned cinema with only one theatre and we only had to pay $3 to see The Blind Side! For Makly and I it was the second viewing, and everyone else liked it alot as well! The singers were happy to see a movie that provided some insight into how American Football works, :)

I was driving in the car yesterday with Steve and we were listening to an Eric Clapton song...and he said "You know Eric Clapton?" and I said yeah, I like him, and Steve said "I know him too, he comes to my house for breakfast every morning...." And I said wait...what?!....noooo *BIG GRIN, haha Jackie, just for fun just for fun*. So our new joke is telling people that we personally know any famous person that is mentioned.

I am also loving English pronunciation jokes this week. Both Zuly and Steve have a habit of putting a "th" sound in the place of "d". Also Makly has had some interesting word mix ups too (such as "crumped" instead of "crammed")  or "the older people touched me" instead of 'IT was the older people who touched me' (because of their participation)...So here's the funny statement we came up with yesterday:

"In Venezuela, we have many many different types of births ("birds"), and we have sooo many  births that they are sometimes crumped ("crammed") in their natural habitat."

I think the singers have also really enjoyed having presentations in the high school this week. Thus far we have worked with mostly elementaries so it has been a nice change of pace for them I think to work with some older kids.

So anywho, our big concert tonight - I think everyone is ready and I'm excited to see the team in some high class performance action! woo!

We are also excited because we all have the day off on Saturday so the whole SOUL team gets to go out together Friday night, yay!!

Best, Jackie xoxox
