Hope of America

This was our first (and maybe only) year of doing Hope of America.

Here's a link to the news paper article about their performance

McKenzie is in the 2nd from the top white row, 9th person in.  She's clapping her hands right here so it's kind of hard to see her face.

Here's the shot of the flag from where we sat.  Even though we got there early, we were still in the nosebleed section.  The article has a better shot of the flag

The songs were great, and they even added some choreography to a few of the songs.  Here are a few of our favorites.

Here's "Hope of America"

"America Rocks"

"This is America."  This was McKenzie's favorite because they made the crowd do the wave.

This was probably my favorite.  They sang with flashlights and it was really cool to see all of the kids moving their lights at in the same direction, you'll see.

Grandma, Grandpa and Kristi were able to come and they loved it.  It was moving to be apart of this and feel the patriotism we all have.  Thanks to all those who have sacrificed to keep us free.
