Well, school is back in full swing, and I'm as busy as ever! Let's see... There's a few things I need to update ya'll on. First thing since my last post was a Dance at the Hill's house! Since you know about my blog, you've probably seen pictures of it on our family's blog, but here's some pictures you may not have seen.
Joanna and I trying the gallop. Kinda a comical picture :)
Luke and myself in our tuxes.
A candid shot of my friend Luke. Looks like a model huh? :)
Ok, I have no clue what I'm saying or demonstrating, but Daniel doesn't look very impressed. LOL!
Sitting around talking after the dance. Thanks Hills! That was a night enjoyed by all!
Next comes school! This semester I am taking 19 credit hours, so I'm VERY busy! I'm taking mostly music classes, but in addition to those I also have a Speech Class, and an Intro to Economics class. Everything is going quite well! I don't have many pictures, but here's two that you might like.
Here's a picture of the Rock Valley College Chamber Singers. This is a big year for the Chamber Singers... Our group sound, and the musical skill of everyone, makes for a Great group! Next spring we are being featured at a Music Ed conference in central IL, and it looks like we'll even be going on tour! This is the first time in seven years that a Choral group from a two year college has been featured at this conference, so I'm really looking forward to it! This picture is from when we sang at the 9/11 remembrance service at RVC.
The Music Theory 3 class with Mr. Beert is going excellent! The class is great, lots of fun, and the students are all very serious about their work. Here's a picture of some fun that we had before class a week ago.
It was Allegra's birthday (one of the girls in class), so when I found this out (before class started) I went up and wrote "Happy Birthday" on the board. We had a lot of fun with that (as we always do in class :). The orange writing on the board is mine, the brown is Mr. Laprade's help with dynamics and tempo, and the blue slur up to an "A" at the end was done by Mr. Beert.
Thanks Mr. Laprade and Mr. Beert for all the hard work you put into us students!
