Austin, Texas


Wow, I hadn't realized how pretty Austin could be at night. Man, I haven't been here in so long.

In other news, we got superior ratings [1's] at the constest WOO! It was amazing; even our director was amazed. He seriously thought we were gonna get a 2.

WE got medals too!

The contest was held at the University of Texas, Austin of course, and that just so happens to be the same college that William is going to be attending in the Fall. Cool!

WE stayed in that buildig all day, and there were people everywhere. It was crazy. From all over Texas! [hmm, maybe it's because this was a State competition] but seriously they were EVERYWHERE on the floor, every corner of the building sleeping and what-not. It was like giant slumber party. Only more formal.

We had to dress up. I think I had my outfit on for a grand total of and hour, and I took it off! Maybe not even an hour.. 45 minutes. We were the first to perform for our judge.

Later that day they took us out to eat at this resturant called "The Brick Oven" the food was alright, but not as good as it sounded. The lasagna was good, but the fettaccini Alfredo tasted like glue and wet noodles. I think the best thing outta that place was the bleu cheese salad dressing.

I L.O.V.E Bleu Cheese!

I love its savvory flavors!

This hotel, the "Double Tree" hotel, is I mean, so fancy that, I don't know. I just have never been somewhere like this before. There are rich old people all over the place. I guess we were kinda out of place; they kept giving us the eyes.

We totally went into the ballroom and threw a party.

Seriously, one part of the Hotel looked like the Titanic Dining room. Maybe a low-key version, but it was so fancy.

They had a flippin Tiki bar!

This girl that was rooming with me jacked a pillow.

It was pretty hilarious.

Engulfed.

So today was the day.

The performance at the Clarion was tonight, and it was surpisingly fantastic. I got complements after it was over, and so did the ensemble :D

I'm going crazy because I am still up to my eyeballs in things I have to do.

Not to mention I have to go to bed like right now because I have to be at the school at 4 in the morning tomorrow.

Well, I am glad because we got that retarded project taken care of, I went in and finished the last of the blue-prints. Those people better appreciate me, and we better get an A+ plus on that project, or I'm gonna stab somebody.

We've worked so hard on that thing, it's not even funny.

A little bit of randomness for the day, I'm listening to "O Happy Day" right now.

Smothering

The tension with the family is at it's climax. There is abosultely NO way I can make it to the reunion, or even see them before I leave on Saturday or before they leave on Sunday.

Concert tonight. It's gonna suck, I can feel it.

We are still preparing for State Solo and Ensemble on Saturday.
