How do I begin to put into words how thankful I am that God has brought me to Frenship High School? More than anything I want to take a moment to thank my Lord and Savior for always guiding me and directing me in each and every step that I take. This journey has been the hardest and most rewarding thing He has ever put in front of me. God, I praise You for choosing me!
I am extremely proud of this production. The quality of the cast, band, stage crew and every behind the scenes commitee and organization has been outstanding. I know that without the cooperation, mutal respect, the level of commitment, and the teamwork that has been demonstrated by everyone involved, the success of the program wouldn't have reached to the level presented to you today. These students have put egos aside and have discovered that no matter the role carried, we are a family, a family that I am so proud to be a part of. I am beyond thankful that each of them have been placed in my path.
I would like to thank the Frenship High School Theatre Arts Booster Club for their involvement and support.
A BIG thank you to April and Amber Langehennig for making this show look like something you would find on the Broadway stage. April, you are blessed with a talent that I only dream of having. Thank you for sharing it.
Heather Byars thank you for taking on "Drumming with Terk" and for being my psychiatrist on a regular basis. Virginia Waddell, thank you for jumping on board and being the BEST student teacher EVER! So thankful for both of your friendships!
Elisha Reese, where do I begin? The projections you have made are stunning and the advertising you have done has taken so much stress off my shoulders. Even more than that, your support over the last few months has been something that has kept me sane. Your love for the kids is contageous and I am so thankful and blessed that I get to call you friend.
To my choreographers Fergie, Jennifer, Leslie, and Chelsea... YOU GUYS ROCK!
Mr. Carter, the best conductor on planet earth, and Jeremy Isley thank you so much for rocking this show!
Thanks to Billie Lu Billet, the kids sound unbelievable!
To our unbelievable adminstrators Greg Hernandez, Karan Newsom, Jim Burke, Scott Sims, Corey Barnes, Joel Thompson and Heath Simpson! The support you guys have shown over the last three months has been overwhelming. You have made this transition as smooth as it possibly could have been for me and you will never know how thankful I am for that.
To My Seniors - When I think about only being able to have you guys for one year, my heart seems to break... Then I realize how blessed and fortunate I should feel that I was able to be a part of your lives, if only for a year. I have watched you grow so much in the last few months and I could never begin to tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you. You have made my first year here one that I will never forget. I believe that a family who fights together, stays together. Through every challenge presented, we fight as one and I take such pride in that. When the final bow happens, I hope you know that I will always see you as family. The first family I had when I came to Frenship... What can I say? I am a blessed man.
