Modesto and a wonderful Golden Day in San Francisco!!!!

In Modesto we played in a really neat theatre my dressing room was very nice.

Thought you might like to see some of the guys in the orchestra.

We have Adam, the brass section and Jeffrey at sound check.

We were treated to a reception after our opening show. It was very nice, these shots are from that night.

We met some students who had won an essay contest about the importance of the arts.

Getting started on a Golden Day (No show or travel) in The City By the Bay!
Since we were in San Francisco we had to ride a cable car. We got on where they turn the car around then hold on for a fun ride.

We ran into Cy during the day....here is some of the crazyness we got into.

Some of the orphans finished off the night with a crepe on Pier 39....yummy!!

Good-bye San Francisco I'll see you again though, I'm sure!

Next we're going to Manhattan.............Kansas that is.

Visiting Montana

Here are some scenes from beautiful Montana. We played shows in Missoula and Great Falls.

Ivy and I took some shots by the bears that were in our hotel lobby in Great Falls....don't we look scared.

We were in Missoula for Mardi Gras and we staged the Krewe of Annie parade on the way to the theatre. My Dad played the trumpet as we 2nd lined through the street.

Next we're headed to California.......again.

Sleepless in.......................................(Sorry, I just couldn't pass it up)....Seattle!

We just finished a week in Washington and was it fun! We were in Yakima for a few days then on to Seattle. My Mom came in to visit this weekend, my cousin Bonnie came up from Portland to see the show and we got a visit from our director Martin, this all added to a great time.

I have to say I think that this is the best name for a hotel that we have ever stayed in.

Seattle had so much to see that we couldn't fit everything in but one of my favorite sights was the fish market where they throw the fish. When we asked if Ivy and I could take a picture with the fish catcher......he tossed me a fish!......................................YUCK!!

We did secret Valentine's during the week, ending up with a party where we tried to guess who had who. I tried to fool Jillian but she guessed that I had her; Kai had me and she showered me with really cool gifts all week.

I get to meet so many people at the stage door after our performances, but this week Ethan really stood out. He had some very good questions and really knew a lot about the theatre.

I just wanted to close out this post by wishing everyone a Happy Mardi Gras! I hope y'all catch a bunch of beads at the parades!!!

Riverside and the Restored Fox Theatre

Thanks to the people of the Fox Theatre in Riverside. What an experience and an honor to be part of the first of their "Broadway" series. The theatre is beautiful and the reception that y'all gave us was incredible!! I am a big fan of the cupcakes. Here are some of the party pictures Thanks again for a wonderful time.

We also made a chaperone change here, Maw Maw headed back home and Dad is with me. Now I have to show him the ropes. Off to Yakima!
