Comments:

Kids from Wisconsin is a huge family. To see the group grow is like the song Love grows 1 by 1, 2 by 2....etc....and come back knocking at your front door.
Now I understand the meaning of once a KID always a KID...when I open the door I see more hands joined together welcoming new members into the group always a special group called THE KIDS FROM WISCONSIN:-)

I'm glad I can still teach, but at this time in my life I prepare little ones that will someday be the future. I hope my positive experiences in life will instill the best of things because the world deserves the best from us:-)

KIDS Story:

Making a mistake was scary because I always wanted to do what was right. I began to worry so much especially vocally. I had a few performances when my voice held back. Trouble arose. I went to Holly Humphrey & Mark Dorn (a great Kid friend) & asked him, "How do I give my best every time we perform? "He said, " What I learned from Mark Azzolina our past producer is...BE CONSISTENT...HAVE A POSITIVE MIND SET. Perform like it's the first time every time...and I did! Only one time up in Green Lake we were twirling canes & mine whipped out into the audience, but I kept twirling like I had one. Luckily no one got hit. Mr. T. choreographer at the time, just smiled & said, "Smart thinking."
