The Stirland Family Show

PEACH DAYS

Grandma's cloggers are still dancing... and so is grandma!

Her students put on their anual Peach Days show over labor day.

THE STIRLAND FAMILY SHOW

My family has this thing where we perform together every year and annual town events.

I must say, this was one of our best shows to date.

We had it all: Dancing, Violins, Guitar, Singing, Piano Solos, and a few jokes.

The Burrs and KJ even made a special trip down just to be in the family show this year.

Mom, GPo, and Michelle can find harmony in anything!

We brought out Moses Supposes again- it almost killed me!

The peanut gallery was awesome. We had a pretty big crowd- you know: the usuals.

(yes, we have fans)

We decided our fave number was when Dave brought out the "All of Dancers"


Video Footage:


This first one is so classic! Grandm was in her element and so blissfully happy singing "You Make Me Feel So Young" with her daughters. They have sung this song at Peach Days for years and years and years. Something about this time was super special though. I need to remember to get close ups next time so you can see her eyes sparkle with joy. Really, we all came back this year because of her. Over 35+ years of Stirland Family Shows and she is still dancing and singing and loving every minute of being on stage with her kids. It's not about attention or fame, it's about fun and doing it together and tradition. The second clip is our biggest crowd of family Irish dancers ever! Even Michelle and Becky joined in on the Riverdance bonanza!

I'm sad I missed the show, but I'm glad that you recapped it... thanks!!
Will you please add the elementary books to your class site, I love book orders and books for that matter.
