The CONCERT

So I spent most of Saturday morning in search for a long black skirt. Most normal people can find a floor length black skirt, but me? I was looking for a week! Luckily I found one. I also found another new pair of shoes...yeah yeah, I know I need another pair of new shoes just like I need a hole in my head. Well, the shoes looked nice, but I was cursing the day I bought them because I felt like I was gonna die during the performance. I must say I did look pretty good though...very professional.

So we arrived at Disney Hall very early. I chatted with a few of the older ladies singing. We then rehearsed a few sections before going on. When I sat down in Disney I looked down at the viola section and could definately picture myself playing there. That is something I never really pictured myself doing before.....THEN I realized that I wasn't going to play the viola last night...I was singing and I got so freaked out. My heart began to race (probably not a good thing that I drank a venti coffee from starbucks right before), I began to sweat a little, and my hands started to shake. AH! I was a wreck! Then the movement started and I was fine. I sang ok. NOt the greatest, but it was a pretty good start. I was cursing at my shoes though around the third movement. With no place to sit down in the piece, I had to stand in those goddamn shoes for a fucking hour. I thought I would die. But the concert went ok. Not the greatest concert ever done, but not the worst. Overall, I SANG WITH THE LA PHIL!!!! So, it was good! I was floating on cloud nine all day yesturday!
