There has been much excitement around our house lately. Lately? Well,yeah we are always pretty fired up here at “Team Schraeder” Headquarters, but that makes life fun. When Christmas music has been playing on since October, you kinda gotta roll with it!  Between Savana’s rehearsals for Madrigals and Sofie’s incessant practicing for her school concert we have had Christmas music playing non stop since October.  We got a little sneak peek at Savana’s Madrigals costume a few weeks ago. She donned her costume to promote the show at the craft fair a couple weeks ago.  Now this is playing DRESS UP!! Aren’t the costumes gorgeous!? If you live in Waterford you may have heard of the Madrigals Dinner that is held at the High School. Did you know it’s the 29th Annual this year!?  You may know it’s a pretty big deal and sells out in no time. You might even think you already missed your chance, but guess what? You didn’t! They still have some tickets left, but you need to reserve your seat now! You really don’t want to miss it!  We attended last year for the first time and I was blown away! Yes, it is a complete musical production that is hard to believe put on by high school students!! However, it is also an experience!  You are literally transported back in time to the year 1593! Not only will you enjoy a 9 course meal by candlelight, you will be entertained by jesters, bag pipers, and of course the outstanding Madrigal Singers.  This year, as the newly appointed, President- Elect of the Waterford Choir Parents Association I have seen the behind the scenes and it is IMPRESSIVE! It takes a village to make this happen.  Sewing, decorating, getting the 9 course meal just right, getting the all of the student servers in place and of course the MUSIC! It is phenomenal! I am not just saying that because my child is performing. Even though she did snag a solo. ( proud mama moment). So, thanks for stopping by my blog.  Please feel free to share this with your family and friends. Let’s get the largest fundraiser for the Waterford Choir Parents Association sold out!!  See you there!! Until Next Time- Capture Life! Sarita
