Melodies and Harmonies

Wednesday and Thursday this week we had the pleasure to hear Tyce perform in two concerts. The first was for choir, where Tyce sings in the acapella group. If you know Tyce, you know he has a gorgeous voice, perfect pitch, and impeccable rythm. His English teacher heard him during class one day and couldn't get over it. Because of that Tyce was specially invited to be in the elite acapella group, even though he's not even in Choir.

He has loved his before and after school practices. I think actually singing is just an excuse to hang around all those pretty 8th grade girls. LOL They all love him. I've never seen a little kid get so many hugs.

His acapella group. Sorry for the lame picture. Whenever I zoomed in the picture got really grainy and dark. They sang two songs--the National Anthem and "In the Jungle." Tyce is still a soprano so he and two other girls got to sing the "weeeeeeeeeeee . . ." part and they sounded awesome!



The next night was the Band concert. Where the choir teacher was heavy on the Disney songs, the band director loves his 70's rock. The beginning band played "Smoke on the Water," as well as "Alpha Squadron" and "Guanamaro" (a "Mission-Impossible"-type song and a Cuban-influenced song). I was quite impressed with how well the kids have done in one year.

All of the bands.


It was a great couple of nights and I'm so glad Tyce is involved with music.
