so, today was our first piper show/tour!!! and oh boy what i first piping experience it was! we had 5 shows today and it was great. we went to two different elementary schools (with 2 shows each) and then we went to the sunshine school and performed which is a school for physically and mentally handicapped people. and all of the shows were great! the first one was kinda of "eh" because it was the first time for this troupe to perform together for kids and for four of us it was our first piper show EVER, but the shows just got better and better and the day as a whole was great! what a way to start the year off, unfortunately one of our pipers couldnt join us though. andy frye woke up with bad back spasms and couldnt get out of bed, so we went by his room to give him medicine and wished him well on our way to the first school. on the bus we went over the stories that he has specific lines in (which lucky for us pipers, we have few stories that arent completely improved) and we made sure all of his lines/things he does were covered. and we did pretty well at remembering to cover them in shows. not perfect :-P but pretty well. cant wait to pipe with him in a show though, we were sad he was hurting.
and so yeah, that was our first piping experience of the year and it was great! and all of us new pipers really feel like we are officially pipers now and we are much more confident about what we are doing. omgoodness, so much fun!
other than that life has just been going like normal. busy but good.
midterm grades are up and i am not doing as well as i would like....im not doing bad, but im one of those A students and likes making A's and right now i have 2 A's and 5 B's....not horrible but not as well as i would like. and one of my A's is in my hardest class (anatomy and physiology). and i am pretty sure that some of those B's are high B's and wouldnt be very hard to bump up to A's, i just need to stay focused a little more on school work and remembering to complete online stuff and things like that. especially in this second half of school because life is just going to get busier with me with theater stuff, with the musical crunch time coming and then Wit rehearsal starting after that and with pipers still. soo yeah, i just need to organize my time properly and stay on top of things and i think i can get some of those B's up and hopefully keep the A's i have (trig shouldnt be a problem, but anatomy is a difficult class).
so that is where school is at, and that is where performing life is at...and now it is bed time
xoxo
