Project 365: #92 An Evening with SONS Classic

Ticket (even though it was free entrance?)

Before the show :) Must take a ton of pictures (although I only took this one cause my cousin had the camera =___='' FAIL!)

During the show (we actually are pretty good and look awesome :D).

After the show (I had to dive into a picture with my conductor (the one with the white bow tie) because I don't have a picture with him and I have been playing for 10years!).

The End. :)

Anniversary and birthdays celebration :)

I wanted to share some pictures with you guys. :) 2 weeks ago (December 18th) or so was my parents' 27th anniversary and it was also my Christmas/year end concert. My sisters cooked and baked a cake (which was cup cake batter they turn into a chocolate cake!) and it was delish! :D It was better! And yummilicious!! ^__^ I wasn't there to celebrate with them but they waited for me to come home to cut the cake. :D Isn't it an interesting cake? So decorative :P.

My sister wanted to take this picture because my dad and brother had arm sling on, and only one really needs it XD

Family picture...aww

We had to take picture with The Cake. 

They even had a picture of my stray, Kick Buttowski

What I wore for my concert, minus hat

Food

Then my parents and sisters played scrabble XD

Yummy cake!! My treble clef ^__^

It was a really fun day, and a tiring one for me, since I had to run around at the show and home but I get to eat yummy food so it was worth it!! ^_~

So, what did you do this weekend??

Piece of the week: Marche Slave

As you know I am a part of an orchestra (ok maybe 2 orchestras) but I love my classical orchestra. (Yes I play in an orchestra). I play the violin. :) I have been playing since I was 10 (that's actually very late to start playing the violin) but that doesn't matter. I got the chance that ultimately got me where I am in the orchestra today, playing for the Sarawak State Symphony Orchestra or SONS.


I started playing the violin when I was in elementary school. Actually I didn't know how it all started. It is a long story but I'll try to keep it short :P. There was a time in my life when I had to move around a lot, since my parents were teachers. And one fortunate event lead me to study abroad (ok my dad was studying abroad not moi but I suppose I was studying abroad too :D but in elementary school hehehe) and it brought me to Menomonie, Wisconsin. :) I loved the place. It is a small town (is it a town now still?) and everyone is friendly. :D Good first impression.


Well you know how it is, they encourage you to embrace your identity (ok I might just made that up) but they were talking about being in a band or orchestra. It was either band or orchestra. :D I was really interested in learning the drums or percussion but I think I was persuaded by friends to join the orchestra. (Ok maybe I always thought being a violinist was awesome :P) so that's how it all started. And the rest is history...or herstory :P *geddit*



Anyway, I was thinking of sharing the piece that I think are really interesting (and that interest me) of the week. :D I play twice a week (for my classical orchestra) and twice a week (now to be once a week) for my jazz orchestra. Yes I play jazz too but I'm not very good.


So this week Piece of the week (POW) is Marche Slave by Tchaikovsky. I love this piece, altho it is a tad bit difficult but practice makes perfect, right? ;) I am gonna practice summore.
