Recital Night

Hmmmmmmmm lets see. This just might sum it up. Recital Night was ABSOLUTELY FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!

Yes that might just do it. Now for some details. Well it was quiet a busy day. So recital night was on Thursday the 13th of September and it was one of the best days of my life. Not even exaggerating there. So that day I got to school and it went on as normal really. I had a human biology practical exam after lunch and then straight after was music but we were going to go to Don Russel Performing Arts Centre for the Rehearsal. We were suppose to leave at 2.30pm but if you know Mr Loveday you would know that was never going to happen. After much stressing and getting together of things we left at 3.20pm. Janelles rehearsal was suppose to be at 3pm and mine at 3.30 but because we were late, mine didn't start until after 4pm. I was trying not to stress but because I live in woop woop land, it would take me half and hour to get home and then I had to straighten my hair which takes forever (If you've seen my hair you would understand). So my rehearsal should have finished just after 4.30 but it went a bit longer, plus my dad was stuck in traffic because there was an accident in the freeway so we didn't leave the rehearsal until 5.10 and we had to take the long way home PLUS I had to stop at the shops to get the presents for Mr Loveday AND we had to leave at 7pm.

WELL, we didn't get home till 6pm and i was totally freaking out. Thankfully my friend Steph was there and she sat my bum down and straightened my hair which only took half and hour (?) really weird. Anyways after that, got dressed did my makeup and we were out of there by 7pm which was amazing. At this point i was totally calm and couldn't wait to get there and perform.

Well we got there at 7.30 and I went backstage to get ready. Janelle and Allira and Rohan arrived and they all looked amazing! Rohan looked so funky and Allia and Janelle looked absolutely stunning! Janelle had this awesome hair piece in her hair and Allira had this gorgeous white dress on! Well before we knew it, everyone had arrived and we started at 8pm exactly. Because i wasn't on until after intermission, I watched the first half with the audience. Janelle was first and man was she great. She plays classical piano by the way. My favourite piece was MoonLight Sonata for sure. Then came Allira who was a little nervous i knew but it didn't show. However at one point, she started singing the same song again but it was a different tune. It was quiet funny, when she realised she was like, " Sorry about that. I just like the Song Cry Me A River so much i thought i would sing it again." It was really funny.

After intermission i went backstage to get ready. Rohan was before me and he plays bass and I was lucky last. He played so so well. He last song was the best. He played Super Mario theme and it was so funny! Then there was me. I couldn't wait to get up there and perform. It started off OK. Everything went smoothly and I was having the best time until we got up to my second last song which was my favourite. It was a blues tune called Dr Feelgood. Everything went great until the ending which got totally stuffed up and we ended up playing and whole head again but thankfully everyone in the audience didn't notice the stuff up and I didn't get marks taken off for it. :) My last song was my hardest and i think i managed to pull it off apart from some dodgy notes here and there.

Over all, a fantastic night and I couldn't of asked for a better one. Friday morning we were suppose to have a music test but Mr Loveday couldn't find the CD he had to use and he ended up saying, " Oh well, the Lord is on your side this morning because i cannot find this CD" so we just sat in the office and had a little party and got our marks for recital night back and we all got A's!!!!!

What can I say. One of the best nights of my life.
