This Saturday my Daughter goes and plays for the shot to go to state in the Texas UIL Music Solo Piano competition. Here in Texas for some strange reason you can only advance to State in Piano as a SR. She earned UIL Straight 1's the past 2 years. If she gets all ones this Saturday she gets to go to Austin for the State Completion and could win a State Music Scholarship in Piano with a Top 5 finish.
Thanks for your Prayers that she does her best , She played and memories 6 pages of Mozart Music for this competition.
Best of luck to your daughter, Lions84! May she leave all the judges with a tear in their eyes from lovely melodies!
Prayers for your daughter and safe travels!!
Thanks we got a 30 minute drive to the event center at Crowley HS in Crowley Texas.
Thanks every one she played a College level Mozart Piece and the Judge gave her a 2 so she will not be advancing. Her Piano Instructor who has a Masters in Music said the Judge was too harsh and she should have gotten a one. Mark up my opposition to judging from the Olympics down to HS Music.
She moves to college Aug 14.
Tomorrow is T-14 days to my baby is off to College.
It almost.D day.
Well we got her moved in Thanks for the Prayers Folks.
She had 4 A's a B and a C the first semester.
She finished her first year and should be on the Deans list for the Spring. She got a summer job and taking 2 comp classes in English at the Local Community College since her degree plan is 5 years and the scholarships only for 4.

Well that all crashed and burned she wound up with 2 C's and we are OK cause she just to concerned with some out of class things.
She was awarded a Chancellors Scholarship and Marty Scholarship which cut our out of cost down to $6,000 a year.
She still struggles with making friends and building long term relationships. Her Moms illnesses have dampened her joy and experience in College.
