SWOC accomplished!

This week my kids particpated in SWOC which stands for Summer Week of Choir.  My daughter participated last year and had a blast!   We were still in L.A. when it was time to start signing up.   She begged her Daddy to make sure she was signed up.   My son less eager, but got signed up anyway.   He is not one to try new things.  After the first day of camp, he was sold.   He also loved the experience. 

What is Summer Week of Choir?   It is a dynamic, fun filled week of singing and fun.   The kids learn a musical in one week.   We get CDs ahead of time to start listening to the music, so it familiar.   They attend music classes to learn the songs, play games, and do stuff kids like to do.   Wednesday afternoon the kids plat at a carnival. Thursday afternoon, they do a Bible Quiz Off competeition where they  have to be able to quote scripture EXACTLY as it was written on the sheet handed out of the camp.   Friday afternoon, some of Houston's finest firefighters show up with a ladder truck and douse the kids. 

 Friday night, they sing their hearts out.   My daughter auditioned for a "special part." this year.   She got to do a small solo.   She was pretty excited.   She did a great job on her solo, as did all the kids.  

Our month is now winding down.   We have family in town visiting this week and then we are going to rest a couple more weeks before we return to L.A.

"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs."
