Yesterday and today have been crazy days. Why? I’m leaving for Budapest tomorrow, so I’ve been trying to fit a week’s worth of lessons into 2 and a half days. Today I taught 7 lessons, orchestra, study hall, and attended a music department meeting; I still have another lesson, a prayer meeting, and Bible study after school. Ahh!! I’m still looking for someone to sub for orchestra class tomorrow and I haven’t packed yet, so I hope I’ll be ready to head out tomorrow.
Katie, Peggy and I are going to Budapest to participate in the ACSI honor music festival. The choir program has been big in the past, and last year they added an honor string part of the festival. This year, however, the honor festival takes place during BFA’s high school retreat, so we were unable to send any students. This leaves about 3 string players! We don’t want the honor string program to die out, so we’re going to play with the students and coach them on some music. It should be a fun experience for the students. Hopefully it will inspire and challenge them to grow musically.
The other schools involved in the ACSI honor festival have a lower percentage of MKs; please pray that we would be a good witness to the students through our cooperation, teamwork and caring efforts.
