Suzanne and I took Kevin to Blue Lake this morning for his 10-day tour. We’ve made it clear that we expect to see more in the way of correspondence this go round (and his camp-future rides in the balance)!
Stayed there long enough to hear him audition; we’re uncertain about how he did. He was great on his scales, didn’t miss a note and took his time on the notes to show his tone and how well he could do, that’s what he’s been working on and it paid off. Did not do as well at sight reading….messed up a part and asked to start over, did everything before that great and the rest (they didn’t let him restart) with no issues, and with confidence, but, wonder how much that will hurt him. There are a ton (6!) of viola players from the two middle schools at the camp, so, should be interesting to see where he falls out.
Am flying to Dayton today, so, maybe a post later tonight, tomorrow, and Friday. Need to discuss the first Fruit Challenge of 2009, Fric and Frac’s latest journey into trouble, and a more detailed discussion of Kevin’s Ele’s Race debacle and his summer training regimen.
