So today, I had an orchestra playing test. Nothing big, just two excerpts from upcoming concert songs and the C major three octave scale. After i played, my teacher gives me this really wide-eyed look and tells me that i just outplayed half the violin section in chamber (orch levels are philharmonic < symphonic *i'm here* < chamber). Then my private teacher just called (yeah, he's kind odd like that) to tell me that my teacher told chamber that i play better than half of em (oh gawd they're gonna resent me for that)...*bouncing* ahhh, this makes me soooo happy!!! XD WOOHOO!!
