review

We've finally hit Thanksgiving break here in Dallas, but before we could get started, many amazing senior events took place at school. The following collage contains a picture from the Bishop Arts District, our cat, and pictures from senior showcases.

One of the music rooms at school is has a mirror wall, so I decided to take a picture.

Shirt, Club Monaco.
Skirt, BCBGeneration.
Moto boots, Miss Me.

I just came back from a trip to Lufkin, Texas. I'll probably upload more pictures later in the week.

night in the arts district

Yesterday evening at The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, all the AP music theory students from my school (myself included) and other neighboring schools and districts were invited to dinner, a q&a with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's conductor Jaap van Zweden, and a rehearsal. We all seemed to have enjoyed ourselves and had a great time socializing with one another. After watching a snippet of the orchestra's rehearsal, one of my friends and I decided to take a few snapshots in front of the new Winspear Opera House.

Dress, Kensie. Cardigan, Arizona. Shoes, Diesel. Watch, Guess.

Tomorrow I will be rehearsing with the All-Region Orchestra as well as Saturday. Then on Saturday afternoon, we will have the actual concert. We'll be playing Night on Bald Mountain, as seen on Fantasia. I think it's a pretty sick piece.

halloween 2009

Guess what I was for Halloween this year? A toy soldier! I had many people ask me what I was, but everyone seemed to love my costume. I got a lot of compliments from strangers out in the street while I was out trick-or-treating (yes, I still do it; shoot me). What was really funny is that we were rehearsing 'The Nutcracker' in full orchestra at school and one of my friends pointed out that my costume matched what we were playing!
Dress & hat, Leg Avenue.
Petticoat, Hot Topic.
Socks, Forever 21.
Shoes, Diesel.

These ladies had the best costumes of the year! They made their costumes themselves. I couldn't help but as to take a picture of them when I came up to their house. I love how some people really work hard on their costumes.

I just came back from shopping today. I'll take pictures of my buys later this week. I'm going to be super busy practicing since I have some piccolo auditions on Saturday. If you want to keep up with me, I'll be updating every now and the on my Twitter account.
Cheers! <3

life of an arts kid

It's been quite a while since I've last updated this thing...These pictures highlight the best parts of last week (Red Ribbon Week).

Laurel Leaf headband, $18.

I wore the headband for Time-Warp Day and aimed for the Roman attire with the headband and a one-shoulder blouse.

The Wind Ensemble (find me). Our Wind Ensemble and Orchestra had concerts Wednesday and Thursday night.

Violins backstage. Philip Glass used our auditorium (Montgomery Arts Theatre) to rehearse his program. I got a chance to see a part of the rehearsal and one of the members came over to us and explained who was who.

Red day.

I wore my old basketball shoes (they definitely don't look old), acid wash jeans, and a red v-neck for red day. I look very...80s? Hahaha. Anyways, I guess the photo reflects how tired we turned out to be by the end of the week. The one on the right is of my new camera! :)

The media is coming to school tomorrow...AGAIN. It's overwhelming, but it's fun. I'll probably end up being on the telly again since they want me up on stage. This time, Troop 1-36 is visiting our school. Troop 1-36 is a group of soldiers. Our school's principal's daughter's husband is in it, so everyone at school had been gathering donations. Now, they're coming over to tour our school and meet us. We'll be having an assembly. Hopefully my teacher will let me out of class. I'll be taking my camera to take some snapshots.

Last Saturday's performance ended up on The Tube. I'm playing first flute on this piece. If you don't want to listen to the whole thing, you can skip to my flute solo at 7:35. Enjoy!

It's the end of the month of September and attached to this post is one of my newest buys. It's a newsboy cap from Nine West. I wore it to school today and everyone loved it!
I'll be busy this weekend - rehearsing and performing. I'll see if I can snap some pictures of my adventures. I've also ordered a new camera so I can record some videos like some of my readers have been requesting me. I still have to wait a week for it to come in and I'm really excited. All my pictures are taken by this humongous dinosaur! I'm still going to keep it for emergencies. (:

i love mama gorbel

I apologize for not updating my blog. I've been terribly occupied! I was surrounded by local media for the past two weeks, was on the front page of Dallas ISD's website for a week, but all they hype has toned down. Phew! If you have tried to contact me, I probably have already read your messages; I just haven't had the time to reply.

I made a t-shirt for Jarrod (The Honorary Title), who I met over two weeks ago, with the phrase, 'I Heart Mama Gorbel'. If you guys don't know, Mama Gorbel is his mom's character which he cross dresses in when making his Mama Gorbel videos (YouTube them). Brian Lerner, the director, saw this photo last night of the shirt and he said it completely made his week!

To leave you with an energetic note, I have attached Late of the Pier's Bathroom Gurgle video, which I find to be rather impressive.
