Magnifique

Teia and Izzi (Greg's Oldest Two) and Brennick (Deirdre's 3rd oldest) just performed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra in an elite chorus comprised of a group of choirs from around the state of Wisconsin. Their A Capella choir was chosen through an audition process and performed selections from Handel's "Messiah."

Wow. Really proud of them, and really impressed by the sound. That's the real deal.

I'm enclosing some of the details from the Milwaukee Symphony website...

    If there are only six degrees of separation, then you are just two away from Denzel Washington and even Oprah...which gets you only another degree away from, well, anybody. A fellow PK and LHS NO grad (Heidi's class) is a big shot Hollywood guy--the real deal. Google David Bomba and you'll see.
