The Star Factor

MusiCamp was different this year as Daisy and I entered 3rd-6th camp with our Zekers. I spent all of my day with 5th and 6th graders, half of which was spent with Zeke as he rotated through percussion,  hand bells, and rhythm.

Worship included 3rd-6th grades, so I got to sing with Daisy. 

 I randomly bumped into her around campus all week. She chose the art option so she worked on art projects this week. Here she is working in her sketch journal on the sky bridge.

Daisy auditioned for the dance team and made it. I'm so proud of her! My tiny dancer is down there working with the team.

As a bonus I sometimes got to peek in on Lijee, too. Here they were playing in the gym.

We had theme days throughout the week. This was jammie day.

 Here we have pop star day. Daisy was all smiles as Selena Gomez; Zeke and I are more troubled as a typical boy band singer with his hoodie and cool glasses and I am the late great Prince.

 Ninety-eight percent of the kids did not know who Prince was, but the adults knew who I was supposed to be. 'We are gathered here today for this thing called life.'

 Friday was red carpet day. Here Daisy and I are dressed fancy and walking on the 'red carpet.'

 Zekers' group called themselves the narwhals. They even had a song. 'Narwhals, narwhals, swimming in the ocean. Causing a commotion. Cuz we are so awesome.'

Friday night was time to perform The Star Factor.

Fifth and sixth grades performed the song they learned during the week in hand bells.

 They also performed their song from percussion class.

 The musical was about students at Camp Heart and Soul. Here Daisy and the dance crew are entering with their sleeping bags and gear for the week.

 Someone from The Star Factor came to camp to chose the best person to perform on the hit tv show. Throughout the play the children were convincing the 'lost' Hollywood man that they wanted to work together for Christ instead of separately for themselves.

 Daisy wasn't happy about it, but she danced with a boy.

 Another musical in the books!

 Thanks to our neighbor Harper for coming to the show.

 Thanks to both Grannie and our voice teacher Carla for coming, too.

 Daisy created a gorgeous plaster cross throughout the week that was displayed on show night.

We love our church and the opportunity to do MusiCamp!
