Creation, oh Creation
Mother of beauty,
Create a world in me,
Create good in me,
Create a soul in me,
Give me a friend,
Take away my foes.
Mother of beauty,
Mother of creation,
Watching from above,
Creation, oh Creation.

A Girl Named Amber
The stars shined down on the distant car. A girl looked out the window with tears streaming down her face. Her father was taking her afar.

IMEA
IMEA was a remarkable experience that I'm very glad to have participated in. The audition was intense and my preparation seemed to fail during the audition, but the base I created from the extensive practice seemed to be enough to be placed into the amazing band I played with over the weekend. The pieces we played were "The Patriots", "Sharakan", "Fiesta Del Pacifico", and "Yankee Doodle". The repertoire was very enjoyable because it was challenging and sounded amazing. The fast turnaround was unique to my regular band experience because I'm used to spending months with a piece before a concert, not merely a few hours. It was exciting, but very scary.
My progress as a musician has been remarkable. My private teacher remarks at my journey and looks forward to the future when I'm a senior. I think that playing music is a unique thing because we put in so much work and don't always continue. My private teacher sees potential in me, but I know I don't want to continue to study music intensely. The experiences I've had are head starts to a successful future in music, but the experiences I've had were enjoyable. I didn't try out for CYSO to get better orchestral experience for college and professional music. I tried out for CYSO to get the experience of playing in an orchestra because I know that opportunities like this are few. Plus, it's an amazing sounding orchestra that I wanted to make music with! I've grown as a musician which is an accomplishment that I will always have. Playing music is great, and it's opened me to a new style of music that I would've never been introduced to without my involvement with band and orchestra.
