Hey, everyone – it’s Phil this time.
Last weekend we as the studio did our 5th annual
Performathon. (Performance + Marathon.) It’s a fundraising benefit for the
Bluffton & Pandora Campus Life/Youth for Christ. Krysti went through this
program as she was going through high school, so as a means of thanks and
supporting the ministry, we have the students raise funds for them.
It’s also our summer “recital” of sorts, but much more laid
back and easygoing. Normally for a recital, we would make up a program with
students’ name, order and piece(s) performed; for this, the students give a
time block of when they’ll be there, and we work up a few pieces for them to
perform. However, it’s not so much a recital in that the students are not the
focus. We like it to feel more like they’re providing background entertainment,
so the families can chat with each other, have breakfast or lunch by Hannah and
David – he almost set himself on fire again. (I kinda wanted to see it this
time. But I at least checked his eyebrows and they were still intact.)
Every year, we have set a goal and the Lord has amazingly
provided, then we’ve upped the ante every successive year. This year we went
with $4,500 for our goal. We didn’t quite reach that this year, but we did help
raise $3,684.50! We hope it was a
blessing for YFC.
Here's a picture of me and one of my students who's just started this summer. He did very well at improvising with me for everyone!
