Orchestra

Today we had the day long workshop activity with the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra(WYSO). It was awesome, I can't believe how talented these kids are for their age. It was just fun hanging out with them. The two girls that i got to know in the trumpet section made the insanely long practices go so much faster. They're both sophomores in high school and prolly at the talent level I was at in my senior year if not better, and this is only the second highest group from WYSO. One of the girls is already planning on heading to Platteville in three years for a degree in engineering. It was an awesome day and the concert went really well. Hopefully we will be able to do this again next year. Thats all for now.

Chapter 6

So thursday night this week i was able to see the group Chapter 6 perform. They are an A Capella group from Illinois. What i was able to see of the show was awesome. I had to leave because of musical, but i had the privelege of hanging out with the members before their cocnert. Whats even better than them being a male a capella group is the fact that they are a christian group also. The guys were all really great and a few of them are Sinfonians ( fraternity brothers of mine) which is always cool. Oh and Lisa they are going to be at Concordia on the 16th of March so you gotta check them out then. If you want to learn more about the group check them out at Chapter-6.com
