Good news! I got the part of Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

(For those of you who don't know the musical, that's the one female role that gets a solo song. And it's a very pretty one too.)

Today we worked on the choreography and singing for "Tradition". It was very fun. I love being in musicals so much!

Okay, and also I had a second rehearsal with the orchestra, which went a lot better this time. I had some problems with rushing in the third movement, but overall it came together pretty well.

Today for gym at school we went to an ice-skating rink. It was sooooo much fun. I wish I still did that stuff! But I guess I can go whenever I want.

The other day my quartet "Serafina" was on the radio, for the WRTI fund drive. We played "Tangos and More" by Michael McLean, which we learned recently and love. We were working on Shosti 8, but when we did a collaboration with a dance company, you can imagine that would have been hard (but cool, I think) to choreograph. So we learned these cute, easy fun pieces. We also got to banter, as radio people do during fund drives. And we got to read the number! They made their goal for that hour.

Next week my mom and I are going to Tallahassee. It will be my first time in Florida.

I'm glad that you got the part of Hodel and that your concerto is coming along well with the orchestra. You have many artistic talents. I wonder what's next.

That's one of the advantages of going to a small school without a gym! (Sometimes they take us bowling--shh!)

Hodel's solo is indeed very pretty - congratulations. I'm sure you will be terrifc.
