Sorry; I've had absolutely no time to post lately. I'm practicing for two auditions on piano, one audition on clarinet, and one vocal audition. I also have a 100-point Powerpoint presentation due on Friday for Biology. Plus, my mom's Christmas program (she's an elementary music teacher) is tomorrow, and I've been helping her set up for that.
