Wow! The competition/festival is done and over with for me now. It's hard to belive how fast it has come and go. I didn't play as well as I can, and I had some severe trouble getting my left hand to relax during the Eckhardt-Gramatte, and then had some issues in the Vitali, but my composition went well for the most part. It was hard to get up and play three pieces like that all by memory one right after the other. The good thing was that I got some really positive feedback from the adjudacator. So I have some things to take away from the experience to work on and get better at but I still had good comments on where I'm currently at in my violin career.

Well I got to scram. I have a music history lesson shortly.
