CASHEE testing started today. What a silly test for people to take. What is sad is when someone fails it and then their Senior Year rolls around and they freak out because they need to pass. I know two people that that has happened to. Very saddening.
Onto out main topic: my last Winter Concert. It was an amazing concert. Everything about it went to well. Choir did amazing and the way we sounded on Runaway was marvelous. The girls were finally able to perform Another Train, something that I have been wait for to happen for two years.
Wind Ensemble was amazing. Elite Syncopation by Scott Joplin went so well and the piece is so easy for me that I actually had the entire song memorized. O Magnum Mysterium was played that best it has ever been played.
I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW WELL JAZZ WENT. All four pieces were played at the peak. All the solos played tonight were so out of what most people played that they went outside of what they could do and they did it well. Of all of the songs that went well, Cut To The Chase was perfect. Almost everyone had a solo. I only wish I could have recorded the concert.
Whatever happened tonight on that stage transcended anything else that has occurred on that stage before.
There can only be a few things that can ruin such a wonderful evening. As you can probably tell as to what I am hinting at, it was ruined. First off, I was hoping Elizabeth would show up, but again she could not go and after her not going to the three concerts of mine, it almost seemed to not surprise me. There is a saying that goes "If you do not expect to much from others, then you will never be let down." As always though, I hoped she could come, even if it was just at the end. All of my hopes crushed.
The second thing and much more serious thing is my family. The only group of people that I know that can ruin my mood and everything I love within a matter of seconds. What a way to come home and find your family in turmoil. What a way to end a day.
Someday I wish something consecutively nice would happen to me instead of being constantly ruined. It is like the universe if giving me this ray of hope but then taking it away by putting clouds in the way.
