So here we go with the Chamber music festival. It was AWESOME!!!

     So you get put in a group with some other people who play music and are somewhere around you level and then you get handed a stack of music and then you walk into the big ballet room and you go and perform the piece of music in front of everyone before you get a chance to practice it together!

Yay!!!!!!!!

Well that was not the yay part the rest of it is the yay part... Am I being confusing?

okay let me be less confusing:

 My group consisted of: Hannah     piano                         Our music was:

                                           Katherine  violin                          The double violin concerto in d minor     by Vivaldi

                                           Laura         violin                           Hungarian suite     by Bela Bartok

                                           Katy            violin                           InChrist Alone/Come thou fount     arranged by us

                                           Me              violin                            Star Spangled banner                    arranged by me

In the morning you go to Harmony and you eat donuts.

At nine you go to master class where you play some pieces and then mrs. Fletcher critiques you and everyone else comments and then the next person goes on stage and plays there song... We were always the first or the last.

Then you go down to Sonic and if your me you order a sonic drink and onion rings because you don't like sonic hamburgers. Either that or you go to Wendys an get a frosty and french fries. Either that or Mom put lunch together and you get to sit and talk to other people.

Then we go into our own rooms and practice until four o clock and people from the The Blue Rose Trio came and helped us. There's Audrey and Rose, and Ira. Last year Lars was here but he couldn't come this year so Ira came instead. There was also another group that came for the begining of the week, Michelle played piano and the Joel played cello. So they help you with your music. Then you go home.

At 7:00 you go to a concert.  Friday the Blue Rose trio played and that was an awesome concert.

Then on Saturday 4th of July, we had our concert.

It was really, really fun!  Hannah sang come thou fount and it was really good. The name of our group was Fortissimo five. We wore black and different color sashes. I had red, Katy had yellow, Laura had green, and Hannah had pink.

Anyway there it is more orderly :-D

After our concert on Saturday there was a pizza party at Harmony. Here are some pictures. We played  a LOT of musical chairs
