Visual Performing Arts!

     Normally I am a very modest person however I do believe this time I have bragging rights. Recently (back in mid-April) I auditioned at a performing arts high school in my city. I honestly did not expect to get in. I would've been crying from tears of happiness had I gotten put on the waiting list (though at that point I would've just enrolled at my home high school).

     Ironically enough today I was at a field trip to my home high school, I walk in and my dad tells me I should sit down. By now I'm expecting a letter saying I didn't get in, I had to read my acceptance letter two times to actually believe that I got in.

     In posts I am sure to write later on you will hear about the classic viola, oboe issues. They are uncommon instruments that most people don't play and it is even more common to find a person that is actually good at playing oboe or viola. Again I'm not a very arrogant person but I happen to be a pretty good violist. And that may very well have been the reason I got into the VPA program.

     Just to wrap this up I have to tell you--I have never seen my father on the verge of jumping up and down. According to him, he was when he opened my letter. Bye for now, I have to go look at new violas. :)
