Sorry


I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I have been very busy and haven't had much time to post. Lacrosse season is going great! Also I just went to my family reunion and I had soooo much fun. I got to see so much of my family and we really just had a great time together. Solo and Ensemble was great too. We only got an excellent not a superior but I still think we did a superior job (haha). The schools are all on spring break so I am really missing band because I love going. Lately band has been extra fun because we are getting harder music. Well I'm probably boring you with my excessive talk about nothing if you wouldn't mind please give me some ideas to post about!!!!!

By the way the picture has nothing to do with the post (obviously) but it is reallllllllllllyy cute!!!!

Solo and Ensemble

Today (Friday) I have a nerve racking assignment for band. I have to go to a city about 30 or 40 minutes away. I'm going to the High School that is there and I am going to go into a room with my flute, my self, and my band music. There will be a judge and a piano player in the room. I will give the judge an original copy of my music and then I will tune with the pianist. After that I will play a song on my flute for the judge and have him tell me if I was really good, absolutely terrible, or OK. Then I will walk out of the room and finally be OK again. I just hope that my nerves don't get the best of my playing. I am playing at 8:50 p.m. so I have to have my nervousness welling up inside of me all day until I can finally play. Once I'm done playing for the judge I am never looking at the song I'm playing ever again. Wish me luck!

Lacrosse Season Starting Again!!!!!!!!!


The thing I've been waiting for has started!! LACROSSE!!! I'm so happy!! Of course my friend Julia is very upset because now we can't hang out as much but to you Julia: We can still hang out just not on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We still have Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and we see each other every Sunday.
Our first practice was on Tuesday and it was AWESOME!!!!! Sadly I have a knee injury so I can't sprint which is my favorite thing to do. My dad is the coach though so he wont let me until my knee is completely healed. I can't wait till our first game!!! It will be really fun because I just love the feeling I get when I am out no that field. At first I'm really nervous but once I start playing I have a rush of excitement go through me and I have so much fun. So if you don't already play lacrosse I suggest you start. Even if you think you would not do good well nobody does at first. Just give it a try and I'm sure you'd love it (and it's so much fun that you will try even harder to be good)!!

The Bass Flute (The coolest thing ever)


So as I've talked about before I play the flute but I decided that I would take a look at a bass flute (thats the one at the top of the pic that curls). It looks sooooooooooooo cool and I really want to play it. Im pretty sure that it has the same fingerings as a regular flute so I think it would be pretty easy. It is an octave lower than a regular flute.In the picture on the left corner are two piccolos those are one octave higher than the regular flute. I can already play that though so it are not nearly as interesting to me. The only thing is I have no idea how on earth I am supposed to get a bass flute so sadly me dream to play it will never come true but I will try every possibility to play it and I really hope that I can. After further inspection of the picture it seems that the bass flutes keys are in somewhat of a different position than what the flute that I am used to playing has. I still think that if I were to scoot my hand over a little bit if I played one that it would be the same. Now I am going to look at how expensive it is to get a bass flute (not that I can afford it but it will be fun to see).

My New Digital Camera!


A few months ago I decided that I really wanted a digital camera. So I started looking online and I found a few and then I just had to choose one and raise enough money to get it. So I chose a Kodak easy share (M893) it was $130 and I only had about $36 so I realized I had to find a way to get the rest of that money. Well about 2 months passed by and I had gotten up to about So I started trying to find ways to earn money then a lady that I know asked me to babysit for her. She has three children and I thought "well this is a great way to earn some money for that camera" so I said yes. Then I babysat for her for 10hrs. I ended up getting $75 and then I had $111 so I only needed about seven more dollars. Then I went online and looked at the camera again and it was only $109!!! They had put it on sale for the holidays. So I got it!!! It still hasn't come in but I can hardly wait till it does. The picture is of the exact one that I got. (Isn't it purrty!!!!)

Snow In Louisiana!!!!!!!!



I can't believe it!!!! My grandparents live in Louisiana and this morning one of my grandparents called and told us it was snowing!!!!! I am soooooooooooooooooo jealous why can't it snow in Florida? Well I know the answer to that but I find it very unfair. When I say snow I don't mean just a little snow I mean it is stuck to the ground. They are so lucky. Ever since I moved here from Colorado I have wished for a "White Christmas" even though I knew it would never happen. Or at least there is not a very big chance of it ever snowing in Florida again. Hey at least we've been having lots of cool fronts. :)
(The first pic is of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and the second pic is of snowy trees I tried to find one of the snow in Louisiana but it is to recent and there is none on google images.)

My Band Concert!!!


So tomorrow I have a band concert at the Middle School that i go to band for. It is a Christmas concert and my band sounds great (not to brag or anything). We have been working on the music for quite some time and I am soooooooooooooooo exctied!!!! My band director is THE best and he really knows how to put on a great show. The only sad thing about it is that only one person in my family can come :(. My mom this is because my brother and my sister have jobs, my dad is going to a mens get to gether with some of his friends, and my grandparents (who don't live in this state) went home yeturday (they were here for my b-day). So if you know me personally I would love it if you came it starts a 7:00 p.m. and if you need directions just call us and we will tell you how to get there. :)
