14 days on, 1 day off!

Hey everyone!

It's been way too long since I've posted another blog, but I have time to write something right now.

Today was our first full day off. I definitely needed one; 14 days of nonstop music is kind of brutal. But also rewarding. I have never played so much music in a two week period than this one. 

The greatest thing about today was: no wake up call. Yesterdays wake up call was a Vuvuzela at 7:00 am. I mean, at least we have the soccer spirit here... A group of us walked to the mall after brunch to see Toy Story 3. Great movie - go see it if you haven't already. Afterwards, we were blown away by Anthony Blackman's DDR skills - apparently he's ranked #7 in the world! 


Now it's back to the routine of sectionals, practicing, more sectionals, more rehearsals. Our first string sectional is on Friday and the first orchestra rehearsal is Saturday. I can't wait to come together as a group. Sectionals, for the violas, are going great! Watch out - we're a strong group this year! And I think we have the best spot for sectionals too: in the basement lounge. Our breaks turn into ping pong and foosball games. It's awesome. 
Until next time, I'll try to put together a video or something. 
Bye!
