<p>I am amazed at the amount of performing arts that USNA has. My Plebe left for the Academy with only 1 high school year of Show Choir under her belt…a kid who told me she ‘wasn’t doing music’ when she was 8 years old - due to the fact that her 4 older siblings were heavily involved in every kind of musical activity up and down our very large state of CA and she was carted to everything.</p>

<p>NOw she is at USNA and is:
singing in the Women’s Glee Club
sang and performed in the Halloween Concert
Travelled to PA for a combined concert
sang at the football games with Glee Club
Is rehearsing for the Oklahoma spring musical
is singing in the Messiah Concert
and is
learning to play the bagpipes</p>

<p>So much for my ‘non-musical’ child! This Plebe is already doing MORE performing than 2 of my children who went to MUSIC schools for their career choice did at this point! And this is at a top premier engineering/military school!!!</p>

<p>You have to stand in awe at the educational opportunities a Service Academy provides for our amazing children.!!</p>
