Cavalcade Festival

Last Thursday we left sunny Star Valley for Denver Colorado a whopping ten hours on a bus! 

We performed Friday night at 10 for 3 judges, my parents and one other couple. At this festival groups are rated from 1-4 with 1 being a Superior and the best and 4 being Poor and the lowest. We received a.............1!!! Paul, the bus driver did a victory lap in the nearest parking lot. Then we tried to find an open store or resturant to buy ice cream, but nothing was open at 11 o' clock at night. On Saturday we went to Elitch Gardens and spent a day in the cold wind, but that didn't stop us!! We rode all the rides that were open no matter how fast they went.  All in all it was a very rewarding and educating experience.

District Festival

For the past two days we have been in the metropolis of Pinedale for Distric Music Festival. Our orchestra received a Superior rating for our pieces and then tomorrow our ensambles will proform. I am a member of a quintet and I hope that we receive a Superior rating!!
I guess that's all for another day in paradise!!

Big 18!!

Today was my eighteenth birthday!! I did the usual, go to school, track practice, and of course mutual. I got to talk to my Grandma Marrott today as well as Shalisa.  On Saturday we ran at the Tiger/Grizz invite and afterwards we went to Grandpa and Grandma Inskeep's house for dinner and cake. It was delicious and everyone was there. Matt and Steph, Ryan and Chris, and Jeremy and Marci came to spend time and play some high-stakes BINGO. We played for reeses eggs. I won once out of six times. All in all it was a great weekend leading up to my birthday. Now only 365 more days until another one!!
