Yet another busy weekend at the Reynolds household. Shaling participated
in the first ever Junior Miss Rochester Pageant (she didn't place, but
for a girl who didn't speak any English 2 1/2 years ago, she did
awesome). Preston wrapped up a week at U of I for music camp with a
concert at Krannert Art Center. Here are some pictures and videos.
Shaling walks on stage and then answers her question from the emcee during the first annual Rochester Junior Miss Pageant.

There was an overabundance of percussionists at this year's ISYM, so to keep things special for all of them, the powers-that-be brought in a percussion specialist who taught them a samba-style piece that they performed during the concert to wrap-up their week at ISYM. Preston is playing a small, hand-held drum a bit smaller than a tambourine. He is on the left, fifth from the end of the horseshoe shape. He actually has a BRIEF solo at about the 1:40 mark. The videographer (Brock) could have held the camera a bit steadier, and we get a great shot of his hand at one point, but I truly appreciate his efforts, as he hurried over to get in a better position to record this -- our seats didn't have the best of view.
