I disappeared for far too long. Finals, the most wonderful time of the year?
@Clarinette: I'm so glad another person likes music history so much! My friends think I am insane (except for another few history minded people). We've only gotten through 1600 so far, but I love it. Next semester we take a break for an overview of ethnomusicology.
These wills sound really interesting. Our high school did a will idea of sorts within the band (my brother joked about passing down his plans for world domination... trumpets). But for something between a sisterhood it sounds amazing!
I have some amazing news I found out yesterday. I was accepted into my school's Fall 2012 Italy Program. I will be studying in Arezzo, Italy for about 90 days! Just practicing my trumpet and more. All three trumpet players that applied got accepted! 2 sisters, and one PMA guy! Now to get the passport and everything else in order. They almost didn't accept me because I have had major ankle problems this year. I'm having reconstructive ankle surgery next Wednesday, but that leaves 8 months to heal! This also means I won't go to the National Convention even though it is in my hometown. Europe is expensive... But it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to study over there with 13 other people from my class!
@unarose: That ornament is such a great idea and really pretty. Better handwriting painting wise then I know I could have ever managed.
