Monday was a big night-Charlie, Alvaro and Casilda had their jury performance at Levine. It was amazing. Maria and I were really hoping they would do well and enjoy it and they did. Despite lots of dramatic protesting during practice, they played perfectly and were so polite and friendly to the judges. Charlie said right away “Hello judges” and at the end when they asked “Is there anything you want to say” Charlie led the others and said “Thank you. ” it could not have gone better. Maria threw a lovely little party for them with pizza and a movie of a Christmas Carol and she have them flowers and chocolates. Their au pair decorated with paper chains. And best of all Charlie said to be “I feel proud.” Charlie, I feel proud too I told him.
