Today I got a haircut! Well not really a haircut. I got it "shaped", and more layers. The hairdresser I go to is really great. He and I gossiped about celebrities while he was doing my hair, haha. Tomorrow is a big day, I have a lesson in the morning, and then Seraphina, my quartet, is playing at our music school's Gala concert. Well, we're not really playing in it, we're playing background music beforehand. But we're getting paid so that will be fun. We're playing usual gig music, plus things like the first mvt of the American. Then, on Sunday, I have a lesson up in New York! My Juilliard Prep audition is coming up, and I'm probably going to play the third movement of Bruch. Then, I have to play the whole Bruch again with an orchestra on May 16th. Then we do Fiddler on the Roof on May 19th, which is coming along well. We blocked Matchmaker today, which is about the most fun scene in the whole play.

EDIT: Just got back from the Gala concert. It was great! But playing for an hour and a half straight in an overheated building is easier said than done. We made it, however, and our wonderful coach bought us roses. We were going to go out for ice cream after, but the other half of the quartet had a previous engagement. (Did I ever mention that this quartet is made up of four sisters? Me and my sister Madeline, and Genevieve and Sabrina, twins.)

Had a lesson this morning. My teacher said my Bruch is even better, it's "like a rock", haha. And that the tenths are solid (YESS!)

Good luck on your audition!
I'm in a quartet with my sister too! She plays cello and I play viola. The other two people aren't related though...
Ooo! You're auditioning for Juilliard?? I just know you'll make it!

Does your new haircut make you look nicely evil? Muahahaha!
