strange thing happened this morning. since we had shortened periods today, we didnt do anything constructive in chorus today (thank god for mass on holy days of obligation. yay immaculate conception!) someone started playing music from county chorus and a group of us from that festival gathered around to sing along. after the first tune, Psalm 23, the girl next to me asked why i hadnt tried out for district chorus. i just replied that im not really a chorus person and we moved into the next song. but i was so flattered! the girl who said this has made district chorus for two years now. and she thinks i have a good voice? wow.

we also had our christmas concert for band tonight. we have never been less prepared for a concert than we were tonight. praise the lord, the concert fairy visited me and guided my fingers through passages i never managed to play in rehearsal. my solos were lovely, i cant say that i squeaked very loudly, and people have been telling me how well concert band played. then again, you could just compare us to the other ensembles who played that night . . like, oh, elementary band? i dont want to be mean to anyone else, but if you compare us with those of course we sound good.

sometimes, just sometimes, i wish i had something other than music to talk about. i wrote numerous emails and other journal entries tonight. every single one was about music. on another note (heheh) i went shopping for my pere noel tonight. i hope she likes my gifts!
