I love the memory of watching Tyberius’ face as we performed this! He was so excited/nervous/embarrassed!

And afterward ALL of the kids gathered around him and poked a little fun, but he was SO PROUD!!!!

Thanks guys!

And the dulcet tones of Silverberg, smooth jams of Dixon, and the sweet back up groove by the rest!

AMAZING!!!
