What an amazing time I had last weekend. I was witness to one of the most spectacular, most beautiful, most fulfilling events possible. Our local, Christ-centered, performing arts school, Harmony School of Creative Arts, held their annual "Performathon". What is a "Performathon" you may ask? It is two days full of teachers and students, offering up their skills and talents in order to earn money towards the scholarship program at the school. All children and adults alike should be able to join in the joys of music, dance and other arts, regardless of financial ability. This... THIS makes that possible.
Hosting delicious local fare and a fabulous lakeside atmosphere, River City Grille housed the events on the first day. I must say, that potato thingy I had.... OMGOODNESSSSSS! Too scrumptious for words! Patrons enjoyed a delightful meal and were blessed to hear the musical renderings of many talented students and teachers alike. Strains of Beethoven and other composers filled the party room to overflowing.
Our second day was held at the Lakeside Pavilion, a lovely, scenic place, overlooking Lake Marble Falls, TX. The light pouring in gave a glow that lit up the face of every performer there. After several hours of rapturous talent, we were blessed to take part in a distinctively enjoyable spaghetti dinner, served by Harmony's finest. Ohhh, and we can't forget the CHEESECAKE! Delish!
The evening was rounded out via silent auction and the strains of a musical orchestra, to which, the event had to eventually come to an end. Congratulations to EVERYONE that participated, gave of your time and talent, may God bless your socks off for giving the gift of music to others!
