Afton is Kelsi

Does that title confuse you as much as it does me? When I first heard Brady say it I couldn't even wrap my brain around what he was possibly trying to say! Of course I was hearing it totally out of context, but even now it always takes me a minute to compute.

This year's High School Spring Musicale practice is in full swing.

And with that little introduction, you might have guessed that the play this year is, High School Musical.

Afton got the part of Kelsi, the piano player  So this is where the statement, Afton is Kelsi, came from. You can imagine why it's a little weird for me.  Afton would have preferred to play Sharpay or Ms. Darbis - but is settling in well with the part of Kelsi .  This is a unique part where the character actually gets to play the piano on stage.  I think Afton is a little bit worried about that. But I have no worries about her. She is very talented and, of course, true to herself, which I think will make a very memorable character.

Just to add to the whole weirdness... the day they started practice Afton got her long blonde hair chopped off and colored brown.  I guess she figured if she was going big, she might as well really make a statement.  She hasn't regretted it at all, not for a minute, but there are many people (old and young alike) who are a bit traumatized over it.

She looks so cute though, don't you think? I think it suits her. But it just adds a bit more of the bizarre to the above statement, Afton is Kelsi.  Afton even took Kelsi with her as a model, so the beautician could see the color she wanted.




She has very slippery, shiny hair and was warned that the color will probably fade quickly. But that's ok.  It'll last through the play.  Thus carrying on the statement... Afton is Kelsi.

First off, aft looks adorable! She'd look good with any do! Second, go aft! That's exciting she got such a role to play. I guess they can't make the comments from the movie about her growing... Unless they of course, have a shrinking potion! :) I so wish we lived closer to be able to come see her act!

Original Kelsi is best! XD No, but I really do like her hair and I think this is karma coming back and hitting her hard with her getting the part of Kelsi in the play (having to play the piano, I mean).

Also, you forgot to mention that she originally wanted to chop off a piece of my hair and bring that to the beautician, instead of just bringing me altogether.

very cute hair! playing piano on stage --AAAGH! pressure! she'll do great! (i guess we could say Erin is Afton, because she has to play a cheerleader - Patty - in Grease!!)

It is ADORABLE! I wish SOO SOO bad we could come see the play. Syd and even Wes would love to see it as well. Will there be a video of the play?

Kristen said...

Way to go Afton. Wish we could see you perform!

Congratulations on your part in the play, Afton. Your new 'do looks fabulous.

It looks adorable. I had to double take sitting a few rows behind you guys in church Sunday. I was used to seeing her long, loong, looong, blond hair cascading down but her new do is very flirtly and fun and so healthy looking!
And I am LOLing at Kelsi's comment of chopping off a piece of her hair. Afton probably just didn't want to bother her collegiate sister with a High School (Musical) errand.

Cute, Cute Afty! I have to admit...I've never seen HS Musical, but I'd love to come see you in it!

WOW. That is such a big chop. She looks adorable with the change though! Good for her for being so brave.
