Hello all!
It is the super crazy time of the year between Thanksgiving break and Holiday break where most college students on a semester schedule have two weeks of school followed by finals week. And let me tell you... its one heck of a time, and not a good one. Now on top of that being a music major one typically has a holiday concert and this year, which happens every two years; the Moscow Ballet goes on tour with the Nutcracker Ballet and comes to Miller auditorium and asks the University Orchestra to 'accompany' them by being the live pit for the ballet, they also include the Children's Chorus of Kalamazoo (PS its happening tonight December 5 at 8pm in Miller auditorium!) But other than that I think I'm handling it all pretty well, I'm well ahead and feeling decently about homework, I need to study a little more, especially for theory.
ONTOP of finals week and Nutcracker and standard homework I decided that now would be a great time to start researching Summer music festivals and grad schools for bassoon. (Which if anyone has any input I'd love to hear it - contact me at emastenbrook911@gmail.com). But I've decided to apply to the Sarasota Music festival in Florida and the Hot Springs Music festival in Arkansas.
Anyway TTFN
