My first blog of the new year, I feel so behind...

Yesterday I had a strange conversation with the band director at the high school (background- in December I had auditioned for one of the bands, and I didn't think I had made it, cause my name hadn't been posted on the list)
Him: "Are you going to still be switching into Symphonic band?"
Me: "I didn't think I had made it; I didn't see my name on the list."
Him: "Sorry. I forgot to put your name on the list. You're welcome in the class."
So anyway, thats exciting... all in preperation for marching band next year, and a concert tour through Germany, Italy, and Austria next summer.

School started again yesterday; it was fun to be able to see everyone again...

In February, I'm getting another Guide Dog puppy to raise; they were born on Jan 1st. This will be my third guide, and I'm very excited.

The HS orch has a concert on Friday, and we just got the (hard) music today...... oh well, its fun

Thats all for now - sorry for the randomness...

That happened to me once. My name got left off the list on the bulletin board. I was thinking wow I guess there's 30 players here better than me. Then I think I ran into the conductor a couple days later and he asked were the hell I'd been. Anyway, he put me somewhere in the middle of the 1sts, my usual hiding place.

Comments! How exciting.

What can I say, I like to be busy (though sometimes my school work will suffer...) Incase your interested, the Guide Dog School's website is www.guidedogsofthedesert.com

Getting forgotten on the lists, leads to a dissapointing two weeks...

I don't understand. Are you going to play your violin in a marching band?
