Hope of America Concert

Camden got to participate in the Hope of America Concert at the Marriot Center this year. This event happens every year as part of Provo City's Freedom Festival and 5th graders from all over the state come to BYU to participate. We had seats saved for us by the director of the Marriot Center (who is good friends with Danny), but had trouble finding them when we got there. They let us sit in some unclaimed seats in the VIP section. After we were settled, we learned that our seats were on the opposite side from where we were sitting. Oh well. We told the lady in charge of the program to remove our name tags from those seats. Danny ended up having the BYU Basketball coach right in front of him, which he thought was pretty cool. Besides the high pitched noise level from having hundreds of 5th graders inside the Marriot center, the program was really good. Camden was easy to spot since he was on the aisle and only 4 rows up from the bottom. His cousin was also there that night, but she was much higher up and also got moved from her original seat on the aisle when they had to fill in some of the empty seats. So I had a hard time finding her during the program.

They sang an hour's worth of songs, but most of my videos are too big to post here. Here is just one of them. 

We were glad to be able to go and support him. It is kind of sad that he is our last kid to participate in this event.
