When I found out she was going, I had to do something special for her. Because music is her love, it was a no-brainer. My dad, who loves gospel music, went to one of the shows at the Smith Family Theater and said it was great. I researched them and decided to call them one day and we went from there.

I sent that to (the theater) and they said they would love for her to do the pre-show. We surprised her with it in choir. She is excited and nervous, and she's ready to do this.
