M. C. Evan

On Thursday, Evan was one of 3 M.C.'s for his school's talent show.  He was so excited when he got picked a couple of weeks ago!!!  I was super nervous for him, even though I knew he would do a great job. And as usual, I was nervous for no reason.  Evan had zero problem being on stage for the entire two hours of the talent show in front of a student body of 700 kids, parents, teachers, and staff.  This is a trait that he certainly did not get from me!!!


I do have to apologize for the quality of the pictures.  The lighting isn't the best. =(  Here's Evan and the other M.C.'s getting some last minute information.

Here is Evan introducing an act.  The three M.C.'s took turns throughout the show.  Since they were all on stage the whole time, they had to laugh at all the comedy acts, be amazed at all of the magic acts, and watch intently all of the singing and dancing acts.  They also had the job of shhhing the audience when needed. 

Evan was in one of the acts.  All of the 5th graders played a song on their recorders with the high school marching band.  Evan is second from the end.

Evan was also in a second act that he didn't know was coming.  There was a delay in the show while the stage hands set up mats for the tumbling acts.  It took longer than planned, so the music teacher announced that everyone needed to do The Cupid Shuffle. Yep, he had to dance on stage in from of his whole school!!!  Bless Evan's heart, he got his dancing skills from his mama.  I couldn't help but giggle.  And don't worry, Evan takes it all in stride.  He was cracking up with me when we watched the video later.  He may have got my moves, but he got my sense of humor too.

It takes a lot of nerve to do what Evan did and he really did such a great job.  I tell you, this son of mine makes me so proud!!!
