What a great night the choir awards banquet was!! The evening started with the premier of Dana's new song that she had written for the choir to perform as part of her Wolftrap award. She gave Sarah the solo in the piece and Sarah did a fabulous job!! The song was gorgeous and we were so pleased for Dana and this big honor. The first award given out was the scholarship from the choir boosters. It was really a grueling application process and Sarah changed her essay half a dozen times. We were so pleased for Sarah when she won a 800 dollar scholarship, the most that they have ever rewarded!! What made it really nice as well is that Matthew also won a big scholarship!! I was so proud of both of them. The booster parents and senior parents gave Dana an I-Pad plus a road trip basket for their road trip with included a double DVD player, DVD's, maps, snacks and car activities. She was beyond thrilled!! Then we got to the awards that Dana gives out to a few seniors every year. Sarah was the last award she gave and she received the Director's award from Dana. She had such lovely things to say about Sarah and even got choked up when talking about her. The few things I remember her saying is what a great leader Sarah is, how it was not about the successes Sarah had, how many solos she had etc. even though Sarah achieved great success, but what always mattered to Sarah was the music and how much she loved to sing!! It was truly lovely and we were so proud of Sarah and all that she has accomplished!! She is an amazing young woman!!
