For all Aspiring Musicians

Okay, so this is NOT for aspiring musicians. But it is pretty freaking hilarious. Enjoy!

P.S. I'll get back to the music talk later. After all, everybody needs a break, right? Right.

Creston Update II

So here's the deal: I didn't place in the competition. But it's okay. It was an amazing experience, and it really is an honor to make the final round of the competition. I found out that 35 people auditioned, so I figure that at the very least I got 12th out of 35. But there's something more important than that:

Music is everything in my life (next to God, which is a given). Therefore, competition--in any form--is irrelevant. It's nice to win (or place), but if someone is absorbed only in the competition aspect of things, then it's entirely meaningless. Music is everything, and anything else gets in the way.

I may elaborate on this topic at some point in my life, but right now I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed. Updates on what I'll be doing for this semester will come next week. And believe me--there is much to do!

Creston Update I

Wow!! I performed at 10:30 this morning, and it was definitely the best performance I have ever done. The other competitors will be hard-pressed to top it. Now I have to wait until 5:30 to hear the results of the competition. It's nerve-wracking, haha. The next update will most likely be around 9:00 pm or so. Until then, enjoy the day!!

Concerto Competition Updates...

It's 10:10 pm (Mountain Time), and I'm in a Ramada Inn in Denver, CO. The competition is on Saturday, and I will be giving as many updates on the contest as I can. Stay tuned to not miss a thing! Or you could just read it all at once later, haha.
