The official letter from Senator Dianne Feinstein that began the journey:

A great article and interview with chorus director Ian Robertson: San Francisco Sentinel.

Ryan and vocal coach Jimmy outside of a rehearsal:

And with Jimmy after the City Hall concert:


The REAL reason Ryan loves going to rehearsals (okay not really but it makes you wonder):




These two photos are not the same day. I would say that about half the boys seem to have these personal game systems (Ryan belongs to the other half). I swear I cannot believe the number of boys that can gather around a 3"x5" video screen. But they do. Every single time. Backstage at Davies; backstage at Calvary; breaks at rehearsal; at the airport; on the buses; etc. etc. It really is hilarious. So because mean mom won't allow him to get one, the next best thing is for him to watch his friends...and a few times, they have even allowed him to use theirs and that is a HUGE thrill for him.

Ryan's school shows it's support:



From Monday, January 15 - Here's a local ABC video with the boys. Ryan is about 21 seconds in....look for the blue glasses.

A reunion of sorts - Ryan and Blanca attended the same school for six years. She is now in 6th grade (and as Ryan duly noted and you can see here....has GROWN a lot over the last year!) They sang together in that school chorus often, and had many duets, trios and quartets with one another at their school concerts. Now he'll represent the SF Boys Chorus and she'll represent the SF Girls Chorus at the Inauguration:

The send-off concert, hosted by Mayor Newsom, at San Francisco City Hall:

Proud outside City Hall:


Ryan and his friend Kyle:


Ryan and his friend Van, who in Ryan's and my opinion, is the funniest (and nicest) boy in all of SFBC:

KTVU news was filming at the airport. We got there towards the end of them taping the segment, so Ryan sang the last song but that clip didn't make the cut. However, you can see him at the beginning of the video still and at the end on the far righthand side - look for the curly hair and edge of blue glasses.

The KTVU clip.



Where ARE my PEOPLE? I said NO PAPPARAZZI at the airport!















Good luck my beautiful boy.
