Patty Duke Award Show

Wendy, Kaleb, and I drove to Boise this weekend to attend the Patty Duke Award Show at the Morrison Center located at Boise State University.  We arrived early enough to meet up with Kevin and Kay at their home.  After a short break we went together to see the red carpet event at 5:00 p.m.  All of the students who participated in the show got to walk the red carpet and have their pictures taken as friends and family cheered them on.  We waved at Jeffrey and spoke with him briefly as he passed by.  He had been in Boise all week to work with the technicians and sound design for the award show.  He stayed in a dorm room on campus.  We had about an hour and a half after the red carpet before the show started so Kevin, Kay, Kaleb, Wendy, and I went to eat dinner at an Idaho Pizza restaurant close to campus.  We made it back to the Morrison Center, and I was surprised to see how busy it was.  The seats were nearly full.  The show was well done and six schools presented a song from their musical.  Jeffrey was recognized for Outstanding Sound Design, and he sang with the other Century High School students as they performed, "Bikini Bottom Day" from the SpongeBob Musical.  Will Leavitt was chosen as one of the two students to attend the Jimmy Awards in New York City which is the second time a student from Century has been chosen to go.  Jeffrey returned home to Pocatello on the bus while Wendy and I stayed at Kevin and Kay's home for the night.  We had breakfast with them and did a little shopping before driving home.
