Brannon James Killgo graduated from Brigham Young University with a BFA in Music-Dance-Theater .( www.music.byu.edu/ya/MDT )
He was one of only a few students to complete this interdisciplinary degree this semester. I was so proud of him. It has been a long road that has included a mission to Arizona and coursework at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and Collin College to prepare for this journey. Only 16 students are accepted into this program each year. The two months between his audition in January 2006 and March, when we received his acceptance into the program was long and nerve-racking. He has enjoyed every minute of his time in Provo and developed great relationships. His favorite roommates have been his cousins Alex and Lewis before and after their missions. During his time there, he has been in several theater and musical productions including "Oklahoma" and playing Father in "Children of Eden". He was also able to perform in "Savior of the World" for two years at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City. Last summer he was blessed to be called to portray Brigham Young in Nauvoo, IL.....He will return this summer as Brother Brigham once again. He was also able to obtain an acting contract in Jackson Hole, WY to play Buffalo Bill in "Annie Get Your Gun". He plans to travel to NYC to pursue a career in musical theater. Enjoy the pics and a slideshow of memories from the last few years.
Son, I am so proud to be your mom. You have used you talents to bless the lives of many. I am greatful that you have always been prayful and reflective of how each opportunity fits in with your eternal perspective. I love hearing you sing. You pushed forward when others said you couldn't sing well or shouldn't waste your time. I love that you believe in yourself! Raising you was sometimes frustrating, scary and always busy and exciting. But it was a JOY! Motherhood rocks!!!!!!!
