She did very well for her first time on stage! She was in ten scenes, here's a few of them.

(7,661 posts)IMO you must start somewhere. We love music and I wish I could of done what she has done in her life with dance, music and being a HR student. Plus she is empathic, humble and helpful. We did a good job raising her so far, if I do say so myself.
