She has a lot of experience performing in shows and choir concerts and talent shows, so she was very confident and comfortable on stage. It does need an outside eye to hone and focus it, but I think it could work really well with some help. The crowd was definitely friends and family, but fortunately there was no hootin' and hollerin'...just some well deserved applause. Also, no automatic standing ovation. The audience showed appropriate appreciation. It was a thoroughly enjoyable show.
