<p>Has anyone heard about the "Academy" Idol? Evidently, DD and 14 others were videotaped and the clips will be played tonight at the Army/Navy Basketball game. If anyone is able to attend or has access to the video, please let me know. I moved to Japan last month and am feeling very disconnected. DD is at the Patriot League swimming championship this weekend (Navy men and women are in 1st place!), so she won't be at the game to see how it all works out.</p>
<p>Thanks, folks! Hope everyone is staying warm!</p>
<p>Hi Beachmom, sorry I won't be able to help out with the video (we're here in SoCal). But, just curious, I assume your daughter is a swimmer? What year? My daughter is currently being recruited for USNA swimming for the class of 2011.</p>
<p>I just saw the videos while at the game today. Unfortunately, I read your message after I saw them so I cannot report on your daughter. Lots of femals singing and male mids too. The played them on the jumbotron during halftime and after the game. Some people were awesome!.</p>
<p>jlr- DD sang "Reflections" from Mulan, if that helps. I know there were a bunch of them. She was stunned to make it to that round since she is not one of the "choir kids". Swimming takes up too much time.</p>
<p>Go navy- Yes, DD is on the swim team. They are having a great season, which is making it much more fun. Has your daughter been on a visit yet? They could probably arrange to have her stay with my daughter if she has a CVW coming up. She is a plebe, distance swimmer. Lucky girl gets to swim the mile this weekend. She can't wait!</p>
<p>HI Beachmom!!!! Long time no see. Glad to see you are getting settled & I hope you're loving it there. Hope someone can find you some vid of your dd too.</p>
<p>Btw, Whistle Pig is too mean to have a swimmer. Only the sweet parents get those. ;)</p>
<p>Thanks, Jamz. I am sitting in a coffee house on the navy base in Sasebo, anxiously watching the meet results. They are being posted live, but the delay is killing me! </p>
<p>I am loving Japan, though. The people are wonderful and the scenery is absolutely amazing.</p>
<p>beachmom, you might start looking on Youtube to see if anyone posted the audition video's there. We were at the game too and were really impressed with the talent of the mids who participated!</p>
<p>Glad to see you're liking Japan..we were in Atsugi for two years and Misawa for 11 months. Do they have a China Pete's in Sasebo?</p>
<p>thanks, atrmom- good tip. nothing yet, but i will keep checking. meanwhile, dd just told me that she made the final 5; she will be singing live at the game on tuesday night. if anyone goes to the game, could you let me know how "butterfly kisses" sounds? that is what she is singing. her dad is still crying over that one!</p>
<p>jamz-i just noticed your comment about WP.. if swimming parents are supposed to be nice, where did all the psychos i encountered at meets come from? </p>
