summer brings about many good things, doesn't it?

So for starters, things are pretty good. as far as music goes, things are absolutely AMAZING. but ill get to that in a second. :)

i will be graduating next spring (woo! class of '09!) instead of in 2010. not only that, i will be attending the university of alabama with a major in biology and a music minor. yes, thats right, i will be keeping up with cello alright. and now violin as well.

my cello quartet preformed at the university of texas in austin on memorial day for our state competition. amazingly, we ended up bringing home a 1!!! absolutely awesome. i will deeply miss becca and shinae, our wonderful seniors. also, some of you may know that i picked up the violin last year. well, our school has a pretty well known fiddle group. i decided that i was going to audition for one of the 4 spots available. out of the 22 people that auditioned for these spots, i made it! i am very excited for this, as we will be preforming at EPCOT this coming spring and in norway in 2010. and, in light of this recent event, i got a new violin! his name is henry, and he is a golden brownish color, and has a wonderful tone. surprisingly enough, this little $800 guy sounded better than the $1800 one! pictures of sadie and henry to come soon.

i will be off to texas tech next month for orchestra camp, where i will get to see the legendary CELLOCHICK!!!! i know, i know, you all probably think she fell off the side of the earth or something. nope, she is alive and well, and ill be sure she updates her blog :)

hasta luego!!!
sarah, sadie and henry
