there was me, Ian, and a bunch of little kids. Fun fun. I played first, I
rocked, except in Fantasie, I have two long runs, and I played the first one
without looking at the music, and ended it as if it was the second run. I'm
sitting there like, "oh crap," and then I forgot for like two seconds what
came next, and then I continued. It reminded me of the time I was playing
March of the Buffoons and I played the same line twice. No one noticed.
Not even Mrs. Kennedy.
The kid who was like to Katherine, "want me to draw you a picture of a cat?"
played the Eensy Weensy Spider, and she played soooo....sloooooooowly. It
was kind of excruciating. Jacob Farrell played "Yo Ho Ho" and it was so
funny, because he had three sheets of music, and he started playing and the
second page flopped over, and he wasn't looking at the music so he didn't
notice. Then the first page flopped, the second page fell, then the first
page fell. He tried his darnedest to keep going, but it didn't work. I
almost started laughing, and it was really hard to keep inside. It got me
reminiscing about a different spring recital. Namely, when Lauren,
Danielle, and I were playing our trio, and Lauren's music flopped, and she
put her hand up rather violently to stop it from falling. I started
laughing, Lauren started laughing, Danielle started laughing, and we
couldn't stop. It was kind of embarrassing. We somehow managed to keep
playing though, and we finished the song, still laughing.
Then, at the end of the recital, Jay called me up to make a presentation to
Mrs. Skehar. I was like, "oh crap, was I supposed to prepare something?"
but apparently not, and I just made up a speech on the spot. In retrospect,
it probably didn't make sense, but that's okay. Good news is, I'm going to
be in the paper.
So, here is my festival schedule, for anyone interested:
Monday, 9:00: Over the Rainbow arr. George Shearing, against myself.
Monday, 1:30: Pachelbel duet, with Lauren, against ourselves.
Tuesday, 1:30: Fantasie in D minor by Mozart, against Chelsea Shewchuk.
I'll have no trouble beating her. I do every year. I have to beat her, for
Lauren. I can't believe Lauren's still harbouring a grudge after Chelsea
beat her and Jessica.
Tuesday, 1:30: Waltz by Chopin, against myself.
Three guaranteed firsts. Sweet.
