Christmas Festival!

I cannot even describe to you all how epic my weekend is. We're in the middle of the college's Christmas concert festival, in which the orchestra and all of the choirs get together and put on a free concert of Christmas music. We're doing about half of Handel's Messiah, including the Hallelujah Chorus that everyone knows. It's epic. And I don't mean epic as in "dude, that's epic", but epic. 


These Christmas concerts are really popular. Last year, the tickets sold out in 2 days. This year, the tickets went on sale in early November and sold out in 40 minutes. We opened last night and the hall was packed. And it was probably the happiest audience I've ever played for.

I wish I could tell you guys all about it but you probably wouldn't be interested in the details anyway. Suffice it to say that I'm having an amazing time. It's exhausting to play the whole program every night but SO worth it.


I don't really have much else to talk about. Other than the fact that finals are coming up and I'm woefully underprepared in one of my classes and I should be studying for that right now....

In conclusion, listen to this:
