Duet Festival

Mikayla and Katelyn have both been working so hard practicing for their duet festivals this year. Mikayla played "Trumpet Tune" by Jon George & "Cotton Candy Machine" by Sharon Kunitz and received a superior rating from the judges.... Katelyn played "The Old Rocking Chair" & "Evening Prayer" by Martha Mier and also received a superior rating from the judges!! Good job practicing girls...keep up the hard work:) They don't allow cameras at the festival so these are a few pictures of them performing them at their recital.

Quotes to live by...

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”--President Gordon B. Hinkley
-----------------------------
“It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.”--Gordon B. Hinkley

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." --Elanor Roosevelt

"A friend will be there for you when things are good...but a TRUE friend will be there for you when things are good and also when things are very bad...and just when it feels like you will never smile again...she can put a smile on your face with just a hug!"--Katherine

"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared."--Eddie Rickenbacker

"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out"--Winchell
