A Few More

Yay! I have time to write a few more blogs straight onto the internet! Woow! Less hand cramp for Sophie! Well what to write about today? Band concert.

For the past quarter we have been practising for our final concert of the year. The Beginning Band would open, followed by the Choir, and finally, the Advanced Band (that's me). The songs we played were:

Manhattan Beach

Emperata Overture - My Big Solo was in this piece

The Magic of Mozart

Fitzwillam Suite

Phantom of the Opera Medley

Marches of the Armed Forces

They all sounded super pretty, but my favourite was Emperata Overture, even though I didn't hear most of it. As my solo was getting closer, I was getting more and more scared. My heart began to beat so loudly in my chest that by the time it got to the solo, I couldn't count the time, thankfully, after three months of practising, I didn't screw up. Proud face!

My knee started really hurting when I got in, so now I'm lying in bed, waiting for it to stop. I know it will be bruised and sore tomorrow, but know where near as bad a poor Matt's ankle. He broke it. Clean. Sharp. Broken. He posted a picture of his x-ray on facebook, and its scary how neat the break is. But at least it will heal easily... I feel so bad for him. He's in track and now he won't be able to finish the season, or go to Europeans anymore... Bless him.

Well, I'm shattered. Good night world! (Especially all those new people in Germany and France)
