This is a little bit of a digression, but it has to do with a young woman who performed in high school theatre with our son.
We just read last night that Erica Walters has been accepted in the process for the next American Idol series. I don't know if that means she has already auditioned and will be on the show for sure, or is just beginning the final part of the process. She is heading for Hollywood today.
In any event, that means that in the years that our three kids attended the school, 2 of their friends have appeared on Broadway (one is presently performing), at least one is currently in a national tour, one is the reigning Miss Colorado, her sister has entertainied on several cruises and Tokyo Disney and numerous have done lesser professional threatre parts. The school itself is only about 15 years old. While not an official "performing arts" school, more students participated in the arts than in athletics there.
Sorry for the digression, but I think that's pretty impressive.
PS I have nothing against athletics -- one daughter was a varsity athlete and cheerleader -- and I made part of my living televising sports events, but I think it's an impressive stat anyway.
