Links to watch that we discussed at the end of MS practice today:

 
Remember you each have the power to transform other people's perspectives, emotions, hearts through your performances. You must take this amazing gift and use it wisely and fully.  It must come from your heart and eyes. It must emanate and radiate throughout every pore of your being to the very back wall.  You must believe! 

SHINE LIKE THE SUPERSTARS YOU ALL ARE! :)

TED TALK
quote from Benjamin Zander Talk

"I realized my job was to awaken possibility in other people. And of course, I wanted to know whether I was doing that. And you know how you find out? You look at their eyes. If their eyes are shining, you know you're doing it. You could light up a village with this guy's eyes. (Laughter) Right. So if the eyes are shining, you know you're doing it. If the eyes are not shining, you get to ask a question. And this is the question: who am I being, that my players' eyes are not shining?We can do that with our children, too. Who am I being, that my children's eyes are not shining? That's a totally different world."
