Well. A couple things happened today.
I'll start with the "bad" news. Cause it's insignificant.
I did not win the final round of the concerto competition.
It's ok though. Because I was not particularly expecting to. and because of today's good news.
I FREAKING got into BYU PHILHARMONIC! AND I could not be more excited about it. Like. I haven't stopped smiling all day. And I went to rehearsal today and it was ep. I got goosebumps. I also probs only played 50% of the right notes. And that's being generous. But it's ok. I shall practice.
So Kory heard me play over the weekend for the concerto competition. And I had heard that a girl in my studio (that was in phil last semester) was gonna be going to Vienna this winter. So I scheduled an appointment with him this morning and booked it to talk to him after Living Prophets and before theory. I just asked if he was planning on filling the seat and if I could audish if he was. (Don't worry, I used the whole word.) He said that he wasn't really planning on it, but since he had just heard me play, he said I could have it if I wanted and just told me I'd need to catch up learning the music. So I'm in now!
And I'm sooo happy.
Today is the second happiest day of my life. Second only to the day I leave for my mission. bahah. but seriously. I needa keep it together. People will think I'm KRAY.
the new sched:
bahhh! I can't believe this. somebody pinch me.
I LOVE LIFE.
The Church is True.
p.s. Ein Heldenleben. By Strauss. (Start it at 5:50 to get to the piece.) This is the main piece we're playing for our main concert on Feburary 18. It's sooo EP. I luuuuhh it. And I love this recording of it cause it zooms in on Dale Clevenger's face like 10 times. THE BEST!
Wow Pono. I didn't realize you did all that to get it. Good for you for putting yourself out there and going for your dream. That's really amazing. Congrats!
