Riley Day sings first vocal SOLO at Oak Valley!

We are so proud of Riley and the talents she's developing. Here's a quick video of her solo at last night's choir concert. The song is entitled, "For Good" from the Wicked musical soundtrack. Riley is the 2nd soloist about 1:15 seconds in. GREAT JOB RILEY!

A few side notes - You can hear Ian next to Jeff, at the beginning of the song, being silly. Right after the 1st soloist, you can see me wrestle him past the camera. And I love how after Riley sings, all her friends around her give her the silent "thumbs up!"

sorry guys...try it again now. I had it set up as private/restricted and I believe that was the problem. You should be able to see the complete vid now.

Awesome job Riley. Mitchell's jr. high sings this song every year at the last concert of the year. I think Riley's should too so she can rock the solo again next year!

alright...I know this is now my third comment on this post, but I can't get that pretty song out of my head! I was singing it the rest of the day yesterday and all day today! I need to buy that soundtrack!

I watched the video again and it was just as sweet the 3rd time around! ;)
