ltgmarsWe had our last orchestra concert today -- my last SBYSO concert ever. I don't really know what to say. I'm kind of overwhelmed... these are the kids I came to know and love over weeks and weeks and months and months and years of years of music, and I can't believe that my weekly Sunday routine of going to rehearsal, hanging out with my friends, and making jokes -- all over the common denominator of our love of music -- is over.
Six years is a long time to be a part of a non-school, non-professional orchestra.
Before the concert (after rehearsal, during which Dr. Graulty finally figured out how to say my name properly... it took a couple of years XD), a big group of us (the Cafe regulars + a couple of extras) went to the Chocolate Cafe, as per the usual, and ate ice cream as if it were just any other concert. I took copious pictures before and after the concert because, realistically speaking, this very well may be the last time I'll be seeing some of them.
The concert was great (and I got to sit concertmistress, finally, even though I should have sat concertmistress at least one other concert this season but never did, for whatever reason). We started off with some random announcements, including recognition of all of the graduating seniors (we got carnations) and scholarship winners (Rachel K. won $1000 for college!). Then we played some music. Dan played Lalo spectacularly (though I'm going to very biasedly say that Alan plays it better), and we handled Tchaik and Dvorak pretty well.
Vicious, Excalibur... Wonderful job. I'll still be seeing you guys, but not in that context. Never again in that context.
Hmm...
