Maddie's Last Concert

John and Becky's youngest daughter and my 15 year old granddaughter, Maddie, has been singing in the Allegro Children's Choir for seven years. They perform three major concerts a year along with numerous lessor concerts and they also travel out of Kansas City to perform concerts in other cities and other countries.

During her seven years of participating, Maddie has performed in twenty-one major concerts and many smaller ones . . . not to mention hundreds of practice sessions. I guess she's just getting burned out on it as she has decided this will be her last year of participation.

Tonight was the final concert of the year, so this will be "Maddie's Last Concert". It was held at the Colonial Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Missouri, a large beautiful church. This was probably the best of the concerts I've been able to attend. I have always been impressed with the high quality of musical performance by the Allegro Children's Choir, but this was by far the best I've heard.

After the concert, I congratulated Maddie for the great performance. Shown below is the proud grandfather (me) with Maddie after the concert in the vestibule of the church.

Sorry you won't be singing with the Allegro Children's Choir next year, Maddie. But thanks for the past seven years of giving us the pleasure of attending and hearing the Allegro concerts, of which you were a part. We love you.
