Today was an absolute perfect day. Several months ago, I was talking with a few students at school and we all thought it would be super fun to have a reunion party for all of the Nightingales from over the years. We were so lucky to have a beautiful day to bring this idea to fruition!
Fran did a wonderful job with the name tags and music display!
Not perfect -- but I made a cake for the special occasion!
Allie and Cameron kept a pretty low profile throughout the party!
Time to get started!
We had each class go up onstage to give us an update on their lives and to also share their favorite Nightingales memory. First up was Lauren Grannetino representing 2011!
Rachel Flicker, Haylee Saylor, Kelly Oakley, Marissa DiMartino, Brendon Burton, Shayna Kropa, Fran Bernsdorf, 2019
Allie Goodricke, Bryanna Schienholz, Holly Dearworth - current members!
And then we sang!! I was amazed at how everyone remembered all of the notes AND the choreography!! They can all step touch like champions!
We loved having Mrs. Abel there to share in our memories.

Maybe she'll be a chorister someday in the future???
Now time for the music!
Going to the Chapel
Edelweiss
Danny Boy
A special one!
Ain't No Grave
And then finally, Amazing Grace. This one is so special to all of us and it was so wonderful singing it with everyone again....and the tears did flow!!
I am so proud of all of these girls both for what they accomplished as singers in high school and now for what they are becoming as adults. Mark your calendars for June 28, 2020 and we'll do it all again!
