Sorry for the very long absence of a post. I can't say i've been too busy, I just never got around to Blogger. I believe I left off at the Band Banquet...
That week we had the Living Art Show. Me, Kayla Foote, Quayla Mauk, Le
igh Chang, and Kyle McPherson were all in the piece Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez. When I get a good quality picture of us from the actual show, I'll post it. I think i'm going to have to ask DeGroff.... I enjoyed the whole thing, although I don't think I would want to do it again. Mind you, we had 3 days to paint everything, build the canvas you see in the left, and get the costumes. It was definately a challenge, but thanks to everyone, it came together quite nicely.The next big thing after that was graduation. I was afraid I was going to ball my eyes out, but it didn't happen. [Don't get me wrong, I was very sad] I kind of started to tear up when they walked out, but I wasn't actually crying. hah. It was then when I was conducting for the band that being assistant drum major finally hit me. Anyways, I wish all the seniors leaving us the best of luck in their lives! I can't believe i'm another year closer to that....
Speaking of Drum Major related things...Mitch, Chelsea, and I have signed up for the Drum Major Camp at UCLA if you hadn't already heard. It will be from July 16-19 and I am soooo very excited. I'm sure it will be an amazing experience.
If you click here, you can search "Riverdance" and find our field show music recordings for next year. =] I like the musical selection a lot. It features some of our sections very nicely. Just the other day, I caught myself thinking like I was still in the Clarinet section, which makes me rather sad. I know i'll enjoy Assistant Drum Major though.
I am so glad i'm done with the school year though. It was definately an experience. I have to thank all my friends for the good times. I know it wasn't always the greatest, but we made it through changed and more mature. I'm actually really looking forward to my junior year...regardless if it will be more difficult than this year was.
I have a facebook account. Yes, I know I am a hypocrit. I know I bashed on it several posts ago. I find it much easier to contact the people I need to contact however. Sorry.
Last week, I went to our annual beach camping trip. This time my brother brought his friend Marcos, and I brought Kyle. It was from Sunday to Friday (June 7th-June 12th) When I get the pictures up on the computer, i'll post them either on here or facebook or both. It was so much fun! I now have a slightly darker skin tone.
I just realized i've been slouching the whole time i've been typing this...jeez....
Well, I dont have too many pictures to upload at the moment! Even the trip pics are incomplete, but you can find a few on my facebook profile. I hope everyone has a really awesome week.
Happy Tuesday!
