Hooray for Becca!

I can't remember whether or not I mentioned several weeks ago that Becca tried out for a Shakespeare competition team at her school. They were auditioning for an ensemble (group) performance that they would then practice and go perform at a competition next month. She didn't make the team. (Just to clarify, that's not the hooray part. :)

So, this week she tried out for the monologues for the same competition. For the ensemble they took only one sophomore. So, I didn't think she had much of a chance, especially since she's never had any major (and really any minor) parts in any school or community productions. She said last year the teacher considered her, but I didn't know if she [the teacher] was just saying that to be nice or if Becca really was close ...

In any case, they found out on Friday (which also happened to be Spirit day for homecoming week, thus the shirt she's wearing below), and Becca came home with a HUGE smile on her face. I didn't want to assume she'd made it on (instead of just getting a nice compliment from a certain boy), so I waited for the news ...

SHE MADE IT!!!

We're so happy for her! This will be a great opportunity for her, and we couldn't be happier .... that is, unless someone else volunteered to pay the fees to enter the competition. ;) Way to go, Becca!
