Full of Music

I had to sing for a studio class today at school. FYI: A Studio Class is when all students get together who study with the same teacher once a month. It's good experience, and helps you improve when others critique you. Today I wasn't feeling to hip on doing my song. There are a lot of very high notes in the song...like a high D..for those who don't know how high that is check out the second to highest D on the piano..yeah..that high..it's crazy. Anyways, 10 in the morning definately is not the greatest time to sing stuff that powerful and I'm not feeling well at all and I knew it would be really bad. But, it wasn't! I did a really awesome job! The song is called Willow Song from the opera Ballad Of Baby Doe. The girl who sings the song in the opera just got through a really bad breakup and it's about her heartache. I guess one could say I related well to this song. I feel I did a really a great performance this morning, and others had all possitive things to say as well.
After the performance I went to see Richard at work to get a cd. He works at the coolest music store in Clarksville..ha, and the only usic store in Clarksville. But it really is so awesome! They are just finishing up remodeling the whole place and it really rocks! Anyways, I'm singing for his senior recital March 31 with his friend Daniel Doss http://www.danieldossband.com so I had to get the song from him. I think it's going to be really great! We are working on it Monday night at school before FAN 216. The Daniel Doss Band leads worship for that on campus every Monday night at 8. It's really awesome too!
I'm really excited about Richard's Senior Recital. (He plays cello...note: the picture is not a good way to play the cello!) All who do not know, a Senior Recital is like the "big deal" of your whole college experience when you are a music major. It's a whole hour of just you and others that you choose to help you with songs. I'm so excited for Richard! His recital is so close and he has worked so hard for this. I'm really proud of him and I can't wait to see him shine in this! It really is going to be so great!
Also, me and him are going to a super awesome cool concert on Sunday night. The group of girls are called Celtic Women, and they are so awesome! http://www.celticwoman.com/site.html. My parents got me tickets for my birthday..APRIL 15!! So this is an early birthday present for me!
I also found out today that I will be trying out for a huge music scholarship on Monday at 4:00. I'm praying I get this, it would definately be awesome to get some extra cash for college!
I'll keep you up to date on how everything turns out!
