Playing a piece called Pizza Party. He has been practicing very hard and had two rehersals with his piano acompaniest for his solo performance. The sextet, made up of six goofy boys, rehearsed every Sunday night for 6 weeks! So today was the day and he did wonderfully! His solo was at 8:24am and he received a 1, the best rating you can get. The judge had great comments, and encouraged him, and all was well.
Next up was the sextet, scheduled for 9:24 and played at 10:25. Unfortunately Jerry had to leave to head to the U of M game with the girls.(crazy side note:U of M vs. NJIT and those jersey engineers pulled off the upset!) the boys did wonderfully, the judges first comment was that they made him hungry(get it...Pizza Party?) So I am super proud of Danny and very impressed with him and the other boys.
Meanwhile back at the school...I was in charge of the food for the judges and workers, breakfast and lunch. So I worked and planned and ordered and picked up and baked cupcakes and got up at 5AM to get over to school and start the enormous pot of coffee which take an hour to brew! Set up all the breakfast goodies
And served everyone and sent out band kids with a cart at 10am to serve room to room snacks. Then cleaned that up and started setting up lunch
I had soup from Olga's , Greek salad from Gus's , sandwich platter from Costco, and all kinds of yummy treats! It was very well received, people actually thanked me for not serving mostacholi!
Now all that remains is clean up!
