Things that make me happy.
Things that make me happy (to name a few):
1.getting to wake up next to my husband every morning.
2.Having the ability and opportunity to teach children music, specifically the clarinet
3.having a wonderful church to attend that is so supportive of us
4.having the opportunity to perform with the Midland-Odessa Symphony. It's the first ensemble I have performed with since NRO last summer
5.Supportive parents
6.two really awesome kitties
7.WINNING A JOB!!!!!!!
Ok so #7 is new to that list. I officially won my first job with a symphony! I am stoked! It's the Las Colinas Symphony, a regional group in Irving, TX, but I get to perform music and get paid for it. I couldn't as for much more right now in life! It has been rough getting into the teaching and performing circuit int he Dallas/Ft. Worth area. It's nice to finally be getting into the system around here!
Seeing this in my e-mail inbox was fantastic!
"Sarah,
Thank you for coming out to audition last evening for the LCSO. I am happy to inform you that you won the audition and the position in the LCSO. We are currently working on your contract for the upcoming season and will be sending it along with a schedule to you shortly."
Huzzah!
Other than that, I've been so run over lately with driving to schools to teach. Not having an ensemble to perform with is killer. It has been so good to play with the UNT Wind Symphony for the past three weeks. I have really learned to appreciate playing in an ensemble and not to take advantage of it. Getting paid to play for UNT's Conductor's Collegium is a real plus on top of that. I've met some really awesome people and played some wonderful music. I've also played some not to great music but what can you do.
Things to look forward to this summer:
1 being a bridesmaid at Stephanie's wedding
2.competing in an ICA competition and getting to go to LA
3.having occasional weekends to spend worry-free with my husband at a cute little lakeside cottage
Life is good. =D
