Compliments to Freddie

Sorry my post is so late. I was having problems trying to sign in through Google. Seems like I finally got in here...

As I told you early last week, on Thursday, we had Pre-Contest at JCJC in Ellisville. Lets just say Thursday was a WILD day! I was going in every direction all day long. I live about 10 minutes from school and I had an hour, 3PM to 4PM, to get home, shower, get dressed, and then travel back to the band hall. I made it and got back at school 20 minutes to 4. Talk about making good time!

We made it to Ellisville and our tennis team is made up of several band students. We went into the warm-up room and warmed up. Our "usher" people took us then several people came in and out of the room from time-to-time. I was so tired and ready to get home. Even though I was only 20 minutes from the house, I was still ill about the whole deal.

We ended up having to go on out on stage. The system was ahead of schedule and it left us with a lot of time to wait for the tennis players; however, they made it and was almost late. We proceeded with our concert. I was very pleased with it. On one song, Follow the River, I play the Euphonium part---we have no Euphonium. It has a "solo" type part half way throughout he piece and I play practically by myself. I just prayed to God the whole time to help me and he did! I done so well on my solo. The judges and my band director, Mrs. Suzi, complimented me. Just made my droggy Monday so much better. I was out Friday (see Friday's post for more) and didn't hear the comments and tapes. We went to sight-reading and we went home.

April 12Th, next Thursday, we travel to Pearl for the "real deal". Please come and support you THS "Tartar Pride" Band! Our concert will be at 9AM. I will clarify that on tomorrow.
