3rd day of CMC.

SARA IS HERE!! I can’t say much about her. I didn’t meet her until the very end of the day when we had secondary groups. Like most violists I’ve met, she holds back a lot. But she seems to know what she’s doing, so I’m happy. She followed along just fine, and she never screwed us up, so yeah. PHEW.

Today we got to switch coaches. The lady we got is a violinist, so she really picked on me :p But I don’t mind. Being picked on = getting special attention from a pro = improving. When the other group that was with her played, she asked my opinion and Eric’s opinion of how they played. Of course she TOTALLY ignored Jay. Poor guy. He probably feels kinda invisible. But anyway, she said we were very good. “Almost ready to perform,” actually.

I think not.

Though it was a lot better today. We’re starting to feel like an ensemble. Plus Jay has mad pages, and he finally got them in order. Rita taped them up for him so now it’s easier to turn the pages, which has resulted in the entire piece finally coming together.

At lunch today, we played Knockout xD It’s a game with two basketballs and a hoop. Everyone stands in a line. The first two people in line get basketballs. The first person shoots. He or she either:

Gets it in, in which case he or she gives the ball to the 3rd person in line,

OR

Doesn’t make it, in which case the second person in line can try to shoot. If he or she gets it in, the person who was first in line gets out. The person who got out hands his/her ball to the next person without a ball and goes to stand to the side. He/she can only get back in if the person who got him/her out gets out.

If neither person gets it in on their first tries, they just keep going and trying to get it in until someone gets it in.

Basically, I sucked at this game xD Eric, Carly, and Alicia were just LETTING me shoot when they were behind me because they felt bad that I was getting my ass kicked. Carly was beastly at it, though. She plays basketball. She’s tall -_- Unlike me. Still, it was really fun. I never did that stuff as a kid. I avoided group sporty-games like dodge ball, kickball, etc. But this was fun It felt good to run around and be part of it.

All right… Until tomorrow

P.S. Cellos are not for eating.
