Presenting the Single Ladies! CT Talent Jamboree




One of the things that makes this year so special for our Litchfield County group is that everybody is like family.
For the past couple of months.. Phyllis, Ashley and all of the Queen Moms (Tara’s mom: Colleen; Maggie’s mom: Dawn; Kirsten’s mom: Shelly; Brianna’s mom: Liz; and my mom: Bonnie) have all gathered every Friday night to prepare for the Miss CT Talent Jamboree. Colleen choreographed a dance to Single Ladies and they all took turns having the rehearsals at each others’ houses. I was lucky to sit in on a few when I was home from school… I have to say they spent the majority of the time socializing, laughing, and eating- but when they were productive, they were really great!!
The day of the show was very exciting. The Single Ladies, who called themselves the “LC Should-Have- Beens,” were in their attire and ready to perform after their months of hard work. Kirsten and I, on the other hand, practiced our duet together that morning for the first time because we were unable to meet before. However, I have to say it came together very well! Tara performed her Irish dance and Brianna did a lyrical solo… both were wonderful as always. The Single Ladies stole the show. The audience held up signs and gave the loudest applause. We were so proud J.
We celebrated afterwards at El Sombreros for dinner, where the Single Ladies presented and encore of their dance for the restaurant. I am so thankful for being surrounded by such amazing people that make me smile and show so much support. Congratulations on a great job!
