HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December 30, 2005 at 7:18 PM

Well, its been a little while since I wrote here...

Regional auditions anre in 29 days, my school will be sending 3 or 4 violinists, a violist, and a cellist.
Plus, my school is hosting the festival this year, which will be great fun, except the band boosters wont pay for a hotel for us, which is half the fun...

I decided not to play in the other local competition. Its the week between regional auditions and festival, and I'd rather focus on regional music that try to pull something together.

This week, I finished two cello repair jobs, and I am finishing a violin. There will soon be pictures here, http://mountainstrings.bravehost.com

Thats all for now.

You're such a busy person, with high school, family, several pets, playing several instruments, and building and repairing instruments. You must be really talented.
