Last year when Remi helped with the county fair pageant (because she was a title holder), she saw kids singing and dancing in the talent show…and she wanted in on that action.
She knew she had to be 5….and she was waiting impatiently. When the time came to sign up, we were stunned when they had cut the under 10 category….but momma bear made a few phone calls and they added the category back in. 🙂 Sometimes you just have to fight a little (nicely) for your kids)
She prepped a song from the movie Sing 2, “Break Free” (also by Ariana Grande). It was a quick under 2 minute song…but she took the time to learn the lyrics (the correct lyrics…she thought she knew them!), and work on her singing with momma. We got a dress she loved (she requested silver and stars). And she was READY.
No fear. At sound check, she took the stage confidently and started singing. In fact, she was mad when I told the sound guy we were good and didn’t let her sing through the whole song!
There were four total kiddos in her group: a dancer, another singer, and a MAZING.
Remi did so great! She sang, had TONS of moves and personality, and we were so proud. But since all the kids in her group were awesome, we had no idea what to expect at awards time.
We were all so thrilled when she won her age division!
She was very proud of herself. And goodness, we were too! I can’t believe at 5, she’s so confident and fearless. She is determined- she learned her song, made up her own moves, and did it on stage proudly. I love that she won so she got to feel extra proud of herself. You can hype the whole “do you best” speech, but winning does feel good!
We are so proud to be her parents!
