DCA should be very proud of their Fine Arts students, teachers, and everyone else who participated in any way.
Kelsey really enjoyed the whole experience and did an excellent job (if I must say so myself). She is already looking forward to the next production she is involved with.
She has gotten numerous compliments on her performance and everyone really enjoyed the play. Now that the play is over, she will be able to get back to her voice lessons and start working on a duet with Carly (DCA Sr. who was also in the play) to sing at our church. She has 2 more weeks of school before finals. This past week at the High School Awards Day, Kelsey received an All-Year Distinguished Scholar (President's List) award for making all A's her Freshman year. The Drama/Choir Banquet is Saturday night followed by a cast party at one of the seniors house. They are going to have a bonfire and watch a movie on a screen or sheet outside.
Kelsey also recently got an invitation to attend the Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference in Washington DC next January. She got the invitation due to being an alumnus of the National Young Leaders Conference that met here in Nashville last year. With the DCA trip to DC earlier this year and the trip to London, we had to really think about this, but decided this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. She will actually get to be at the inauguration, watch the parade, go to one of the balls, meet some of the candidates, & be part of some political debates. She has already started lining up babysitting jobs to help raise money for the trip.
She is growing up way too fast, but really is a mature young lady who I know will make a big impact someday in whatever she chooses to do.
