I Know the Truth and Gimme Gimme

Katherine has been working with her voice teacher on several songs, and took the initiative to audition for two different event at her school this week.  The first, "I Know the Truth," is from the musical Aida.  It wasn't her favorite song, but since she's been working on it, I thought it would be a good challenge for her to perform it in front of an audience.  This was sung during her final choir concert of the year.

Someday, I hope she'll perform the Italian piece she's learning.  In the meantime, here's one of her favorites, - a song she first worked on for an audition last summer.  Corbett did a production of Thoroughly Modern Millie from which this song is taken.  She was not in that production, so I'm glad she had a chance to perform it here at the Milwaukie Academy of the Art Spring Showcase.  She laments the applause at the end saying, "If they knew how hard it was to hold that note for so long they might listen instead of clapping."
