Orchestra Organizational Fest

February 24, 2013 at 1:39 AM

I must say, it is great fun driving on a snowy winter sunset whilst listening to Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture. There's something... right about it. Oh, and a Finzi piece would've worked, too.

From 1:30-3:30pm today, our orchestra performed for another school's orchestra and a judge. We didn't get scored; it was more like orchestra class where we had someone else conduct and it was being performed and we had to dress in all-black. Other than that, the atmosphere was very relaxed and I had a lot of fun not only playing my violin, but also listening to the other pieces that were performed. I wish I wrote down what they did, because they were great pieces. The second one was the same Glinka piece we had to do for our audition in January. (By the way, I did not make the top group. Oh well. There's always next year.) So yeah. The whole event was tons of fun! :)
