My Day Yesterday

Well, I didn't get my permit yesterday. I missed 7. You can only miss 5. So, I'll be studying some more.

Kara and I had two orchestra performances yesterday. I think we did really well. Given that we only had one practice last Friday. Having been off all summer.

After our last performance, we ate at McAlister's. I hadn't been there in a while, so I was happy. It was a long day. A REALLY long day.

Catching you all up

Well, this week has been interesting.

To start it out, Survivor ended Sunday.:( It was SO funny to watch though.

Then, on Tuesday, Kara and I had an Orchestra performance. It was different than what I had thought it to be. There was only 6 violins from BOTH 1st and 2nd parts, 2 violas, 3 cellos, 2 flutes, and 1 harp. One of the violins was pulled into the performance because we needed another one. We mostly played hymns though. You could tell that they(the people that we were playing for)enjoyed us very much.

Then, we had our last orchestra yesterday.:( It is very sad to think about. We have our end of the year performances next week. I'm still trying to find something to look forward to that is closer to today. I guess that V.B.S is going to have to work. Since it IS a closer date than when we start back up in orchestra.

I guess that is all I have to catch you up with. Unless you want me to tell you about school, but I really don't want to. So I'll just save all of you(and myself) a lot of trouble.

The Performance

Friday night was SO hectic. I was almost out of breath. I was tired as well. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning.

Well, first I had to get ready (which was almost an adventure in it's self.) Then I had to get all of my music and both of my instruments ready. then get all of the kids in the van along with my stuff. An drive to where we were having the performance.

That is the sum-up of the drive TO the performance. The actual thing is what was hectic.

Kara and I went in, and Set up. While everyone else was practicing. Practice a little with the orchestras, then walk behind the stage over to the other side, only to practice with the choir this time. After that we had to walk back to the other side, behind the stage, to play with the orchestra for the REAL performance. Then almost right after we had finished on that side, we hurried over to the choir side, using behind the stage for transportation, to perform over there. We were able to stay on the choir side for the ceremony, then we did one more choir piece, then literally ran to the other side to be able to perform for the graduates to leave. Then we played two more pieces of music before we were able to pack up.

Then we were done. *long and tired sigh* We don't have to do it again until next year. Which, I know, will come only to soon. The only thing that I was thinking of at that moment was: "It's over! I can get out of these heels soon!"

Well, better go find something productive to do. Hope to be hearing some comments soon.

Performances, Performances, Performances.

Today I have an Orchestra Performance. It is for a High School Graduation. I have to perform three times tonight! Harp, Violin, and Choir. Hopefully it all goes well. Last night all the orchestra classes Bach and down performed. Along with the two younger choirs. The top two orchestras and the top choir will be performing tonight, which I am in all three. My sister, Kara, Is in all three of these classes, but just choir and flute. Lucky her, only one Instrument and choir instead of two instruments and choir. I won't be surprised if I am tired after the performance. Hopefully something exciting will happen tonight, so I can have a REAL reason to blog. Well, blog later.

One thing down, two more to go.

I just got back from my orchestra performance. It was an OK performance, the acoustics in the room we were put in was very strange. I could hardly hear anything. Occasionally I could hear the other parts, but when I did it was a very faint sound. Did I tell you that the room was incredibly HOT. It was. I thought I was going to die from it!!!!!!!!! And we all had a hard time keeping together because it was very strangely arranged room, if you get what I'm saying. So that is how it came to be an OK performance.
I still have not been able to find the time to fit in ANY SCHOOL WHATSOEVER. And I don't do school after 5, if I do, I won't get a word of it. So, I'll have to do school Saturday Or Sunday afternoon if I don't get everything done.
Tomorrow at orchestra we are having a quartet or something-or-other come and perform. So that will be cool. I'll still have to go into town again though. I'm really not looking forward to it very much, but on the whole, it's OK.

So many things!!!!!!

I have SO many things to do today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how I'm going to do it all, and still have time to myself. For starters, My Moms' parents are here for a visit. Then later on this afternoon I have an orchestra performance. And somewhere in between both of these things and getting ready to go I have to do school. The fact if I'm going to get EVERYTHING done today does NOT appear in the near future. I can tell you right now that I won't be able to do it tomorrow ether. For tomorrow I am at orchestra ALL DAY. Got to go.
