Jack played in the pit orchestra for their spring musical: Sweeney Todd. He did an amazing job with the difficult score by Sondheim. He grew so much as a musician due to the rigorous rehearsals and extended playing time. He also helped build the sets when he had spare time! The kid lived and breathed Sweeney Todd for several months!

Tech week dinner break – I volunteer to cook and serve a few nights. Snuck a pic of my boy.
Lots of practice at home in addition to rehearsals.
Double the shirts!
Double the credits on the mural!
Spying on him before
I made bloody keychains for all the pit people. They are so underappreciated and they did so good!
Seeing it again with Amanda, Andy, Ben, and Sam
Uncle is not as afraid to embarass his nephew.

Here’s the ending outro that they played after bows – my only chance to sneak some live video without being totally uncouth!

Seriously, we are super impressed with Jack’s dedication and improvement with his musical journey. What a kid!
