2008 Festival of Trees

December 18, 2008 by Sue 1 Comment

Scott’s parents and siblings decorate a tree each year in honor of his brother, Paul, who died while on active duty in the Air Force.  (You can see previous trees in our Archives.)  All proceeds from the Festival of Trees goes to charity care at Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City.  This year our theme was “Dance Under the Stars”, because Paul and Michelle met in a ballroom dance class at BYU.  We made it a winter scene, so Santa and Mrs. Claus are having a dance outside in the garden in the snow.  We had 3 trees, each decorated in a different color-purple, fuschia, and turqoise, an arch, garden bench, and lamppost.  Here are some candids of the tree and the decorators.

Madrigal Feaste

December 14, 2008 by Sue Leave a Comment

img_15942This week finished up the Lone Peak High School choral department’s Madrigal Feaste for 2008.  Brian, as the President of the Chamber Choir, was heavily involved in the success of the event.  He also played the King, who acts as the Master of Ceremonies and stage manager.  He was doubly wired with his wireless microphone and a headset to listen to backstage directions from the choir teacher and the techies.  There is a meal served to about 200 people each of the 7 evenings, consisting of  green salad, chowder in a bread bowl, a chicken quarter, mashed potatoes, vegetables, a chocolate tart, and wassail.  The dinner is servedmadrigal-singing by members of the A Cappella Choir, and the Chamber Choir is the Royal Court and the beggars, CC sings several songs, and sings a couple with the A Cappella members.  The Royal Court performs in a humorous play that was a spoof of Cinderella.  They did a great job and the beggars collected lots of coins thrown by the audience.  This is the major fund-raiser for the choral dept. each year and a major undertaking.  But the kids were up to the job!

1. Friends save my life regularly.

2. Better  health; it’s a goal I’m hoping for.

3. I’m ready for a vacation from my full-time volunteer position.

4. Vanilla  is one of my favorite perfumes or aftershaves or smells.

5. The oldest ornament I have is a set of ceramics Scott and I painted the first year we were married-1984.

6. Take some fall leaves and dirt, mix it all together and you have great garden soil in the spring.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to resting after a full day of Christmas shopping, tomorrow my plans include community choir rehearsal, finishing the decorating, wrapping some presents, shopping online and Sunday, I want to make it through church, ward choir rehearsal, and the community concert in the evening!

The Scarlet Pimpernel

November 26, 2008 by Sue Leave a Comment

brian-pink-chiffonLast night was closing night for Lone Peak’s fall production of “The Scarlet Pimpernel“.  Brian played Ozzy, one of Sir Percy’s men.  The costumes were great and he had 7 different costumes to wear during the production.  The outrageous costumes for “The Creation of Man” number were in several colors, but Brian’s had to be pink because his character has a line in the play that refers to it:   “I simply cannot hop about wearing pink chiffon!”brianponytail

He grew his hair out for the show and also wore a hair extension so that he would have a pony tail.  He looked so debonair!  Percy’s men (the Bounders) were all debonair and got the loudest applause each night.
