About The Colony's Stewart Peninsula

Pirate Days in The Colony, TX.  2008 was a huge success.  The festive atmosphere included- Music from local bands, food with flair, many vendors, sword fights, and Pirates from 'far, far away'.  I was there to participate in the fundraiser for the Friends of The Colony Dog Park (non-profit organization).

I attended my daughter's last choir concert at Lakeview Middle School yesterday. It was called "Lakeview Live! A Showcase of Broadway Musicals." It was a bitter sweet occasion for me because my youngest child is going to high school next year and it is likely the last time I will be inside Lakeview Middle School. It marks a new era in my daughter's life and mine.

When Lakeview changed music directors I had concerns. My older daughter was taught by Ms. Fannin. She learned more in choir in three years than I did in my sixteen years of choir practice. The new director, Mr. Moses, had big shoes to fill. He met the challenge! I was overwhelmed with the amount of emotion and talent I witnessed last night. I am glad my daughter got an opportunity to be in his class.

Thank you Mr. Moses. You did a great job teaching the children and motivating them to give it their all! I really appreciated the show tunes and will think of it fondly for years to come.

My daughter said she was excited to sing one particular song. She already knew all the words and knew I would be happy to hear it. For those of you who have not seen the musical Rent, or the movie, here is one of the songs that moved me.
