WOOHOO!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOO!!!!

My Sunday started off pretty lame. The usual church, classes, etc. Then, I had a gig with my chamber ensemble, thereby missing an orchestra rehearsal. Despite the fact that when we got there to rehearse/set up percussion instruments/etc., all the doors on the inside were locked, delaying our rehearsal a 1/2 hour, my stand partner's asthma was making her nauseous, one of our four violas never showed, and our second viola (who plays first viola in the Telemann concerto for two violas they were performing) had her car break down across town, her cell phone die as she was trying to give directions to someone to pick her up, and finally arrived the piece before she was scheduled to perform. So, another girl and I spent most of our down time trying to cool down our first violist, who was totally flipping out/freaking out, being a nervous-nellie type person.
When I got home, I totally collapsed. That was when THE PHONE CALL came.
It was my friend Sam, who plays first clarinet in our orchestra.
"I hear we have a new concertmaster." He said
"What?"
"YOU! They passed out the forms today and you tied with Alan."
I'M ASSOCIATE CONCERTMISTRESS!!!!!!
I still can't believe it. I mean, I had NO idea they were going to...move....me......WOHOOOOO!
I'm thrilled, can you tell?
