And just like that it's all over

August 21, 2008 at 3:10 AM

YAE is over and now it's onto the next thing. In some ways I'm relieved and in others I'm incredibly sad. YAE is always such a terrific experience, though an exhausting one. It's been fun to be in a TA role this year and to get to watch how the kids have changed and progressed over the course of the program. YAE really brings out the best in a lot of people and lot in their personalities. My personal favorite event from this year, aside from all the performing was the Gamelan ensemble. I've always been fascinated by the gamelan to get to learn how to play it was an incredible experience! I never realized just how complex the rhythms were that create that fantastic sound!

Now it's back to practicing and composing and my summer vacation..... if you can all it that.... :)
