Oh WOW...that's all I can say! Today is the first day that we have actually worked with the choreographer for this show and let me just say that I have more movement in the very first song than I did in all of the country show combined!! I'm EVERYWHERE! Did I mention that I dance a lot and I have to sing spanish while I do it?? This will by far be my hardest show...which I already knew because it's all about dancing anyway, but I guess I really thought most of what I would do is walk around...well not exactly! I actually have choreographed dance steps for about 16 counts...I know what you're thinking, "Kristian, that's really not a lot of dancing." BUT the rest of the song I'm running all over the stage in between dancers like a chicken with my head cut off singing english, then spanish, and then trying to keep from having my head knocked off by high kicks and flying dancers etc. It's a madhouse!!! hahahaha I know, we just learned it and it will come, but WOW...I just keep saying that over and over...and this is only the FIRST of my songs!! I think it's even more challenging because we are learning this with a whole other cast. So, we are sharing studios and the same choreographer is trying to teach it to both of us at the same time. The problem is that our stages are very different so she has to take one group at a time and block us, and then come back to the other group and do the same...so we technically get half the time to work with her and fix any mistakes...BUT I'm sure I'll get it soon enough despite all of that...won't I? haha :)
Other than that things are going really well. Heather got back from the doctor and was CLEARED so she will definitely be staying! YAY! Thanks for your prayers!! Unfortunately, now our boy 2, Aaron, is under the same kind of threats because he went back to the doctor and found out his bronchitis has turned into laryngitis and now he's not aloud to sing either. If it's not one person then it's someone else...so start your prayers all over again please!
The other day I posted a video through facebook without realizing that anyone who tried to go to that link would need a password to access the video. SO, I'm uploading the video to myspace so that you will only have to copy and paste the link to pull up the video. Sorry about that!! Try this one instead:

Love,
Kris

Hey Sis! just wanted to say HI!You are in our prayers. We love you!Ging & Larry
Hi Kristian!
After hearing the video, I am really excited now! You are where you belong!!!! Great first rehearsal! You are singing with a talented cast. How cool that you are a professional now!!!!!!!!!! All of you need to take care of your voices. You have a long time to sing ahead of you. Remember to really breathe deeply and use a lot of support. It will really help when you dance and sing at the same time.
How cool that you are doing as much dancing as you are! You will eventually build up to all that is required of you.
The show promises to be fabulous! What fun you will have with it! I am so glad that Heather will not be sent home. That is great.
Love, Mrs. Stricklin
I watched the video and it is AMAZING!! You guys sound wonderful. That makes me wish even more we were going on your cruise. Hope you are having a wonderful time.
Leslie
