Pictures from my daughter's final high school play - The Sound of Music.

Maria (played by my daughter Samantha) is sent away from the Abbey to become a governess at the house of Captain von Trapp. The Captain has 7 children but does not spend much time with them - they remind him too much of his late wife. The children have chased away their previous governesses, but Maria is able to make a connection with them and they take a liking to her almost immediately.

In this scene, Maria teaches the children how to sing the notes of the scale by describing things with each note - "Do, a deer, a female deer; Re, a drop of golden sun.." This is one of the most well known songs from this musical, and it was a delight to see it on stage.

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. Psalm 149:1

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!
