Two things:
1. If you check out the previous post, titled "Long Overdue", I entered a concerto competition. Round I was sending the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra a cd of the concerto (in my case, the Creston). I'm not entirely sure how many people entered the competition, but I was one of twelve selected for round II! That means I'll be going to Denver, CO on January 12 to compete live against the other 11 finalists. So the hard work is beginning to pay off!
2. Just a reminder--I have a concert tomorrow at 3:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Elk City, OK. So come check it out!!! It should be a really great show, and I am very excited for it.
I'll be updating soon on how the concert went for those who won't be able to make it.
Peace out,
-J

Long Overdue
Well, it's been forever since I've written anything on here. Here are some updates:
1. I now have my marimba! I would put pictures of it on this site, but Blogspot is being stupid. So just click on the link to see pictures of Miss Feodore, haha. Also, there is one picture of the beginning of the 3rd movement of the Creston Concerto. I'm not quite sure why I took that picture, but I did anyway. So get over it ;)
Marimba Pictures
Also, here is the url of the company where I purchased my marimba. If anyone reading this is a percussionist looking to buy a marimba, go with these guys. They make the most amazing marimbas I've ever heard, and the most beautiful marimbas I've ever seen. You won't be disappointed.

Moving on...
2. I entered a concerto competition with the Creston Concerto about two weeks ago. There are two rounds and I should be hearing from them next week on if I passed round 1. It's exciting, but very nerve-racking.
3. I have my first concert next Sunday, October 28. It's in Elk City, at the First Presbyterian Church. It's at 3:00 pm, so if anyone reading this has some free time, come check out some awesome marimba music!! Also, keep checking my myspace for updates on concerts I'm doing. I will have more dates up pretty soon for the month of November.
That's about it concerning performance stuff. There's a lot more going on, but I will write about that later. For now, enjoy the pictures of Feodore!!
