Middle School Musical

Eldest of Oz concluded a week of performances with her middle school talent show this evening.

Her classmates demonstrated a tremendous amount of skill, both vocally and with musical instruments. Seventh grader Wyatt P. played a nearly-flawless "Stairway to Heaven" by the mighty Zep (with us 40-somethings waving our cell phones like lighters), and sixth grader Brandon F. rocked us all out with "Revelation (Mother Earth)" by Ozzy Osbourne [corrected - thx Brandon!].

The show ended with the RMS Jazz Quintet closing out with a pair of trumpet solos and a keyboard solo. But the real star of our Middle School Musical was the RMS Cheerleading Coach Traci Russell as the inestimable Sharpey Evans.
