Looking Back

It doesn't feel like it's been two weeks since I last posted! But maybe that's because I've been doing the same thing for the past two weeks, namely, watching Rejected No More a total of twelve times! I really did enjoy it though. I wish everyone could watch plays more than once; one gets so much more out of multiple viewings! I was thrilled to see someone I knew each performance night. And to those of you who didn't come; I hope to see you next year!

I think Spring is finally here. It is also sounding like April with Krista, Kathrina, and Noah practicing away at the piano to get ready for adjudications the end of this month. I can't say I'm sorry not to be practicing myself; however, I was fondly remembering how much fun Sarah and I had playing the 2nd movement of Chopin's Concerto No. 1 last year. I tried to post a video of it at the time, but wasn't able to figure it out, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it now! We took this video right after we had played for the judge. Sarah is the soloist and I'm playing the symphony reduction on another piano. Chopin's Concerto No. 1 has always been our piano teacher's favorite, and she finally convinced Sarah to play in the Senior adjudication. Sarah received a Superior rating for her performance - the highest one can get!

P.S. I want to know how many of you take the time to watch this whole video!
