2000: Sound Crew: Nora!
2011: Sound Crews: 12 parents + Nora and Courtney
2000: Nora's CD player!
2011: Expensive professional-quality sound and lighting
2000: 1 Eire Born outfit (red dresses)
2011: 3 Eire Born outfits (red dresses, summer dresses, black outfits)

Wow so amazing to see how much the school has grown! Natalie and Hanna, you were too cute :)
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting facts to compare! Thanks, Moira! Eire Born has come a long way! I dare say that Eire Born wouldn't have come this far without Pat and Vic! They were there then, and they are still here - Yay, Pro Sound Team! Isn't it great that there are so many parents stepping up to help too? Have fun, everyone!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is so cool to know!
ReplyDeleteLove the nostalgia. I wonder what it will be like in another 11 years?
ReplyDeleteCUTIES!!!!
