Like we have nothing else to do

Back before Amber's play auditions, she signed up for a few honor bands. We had the San Juan Honor Band just last week. Done! Over! Cross off the list :D Back at the beginning of October she turned in an audition tape for All-Northwest Honor Band ~ a very, extremely difficult honor band to get acceptance. This is the one that Amber had to make the difficult decision ~ try out for the play or hope to get accepted (won't know until mid-December) in the honor band since the performance is on one of the same nights as the play. As you know, she picked the play.

Well, look what this girl has NOW been accepted to do.

Northwest High School Honor Band
January 9-10, 2009
The Northwest High School Honor Bands will feature music performed by approximately 200 of the finest high school musicians from Idaho, Oregon and Washington. These outstanding high school students are recommended for participation in the event by their high school band directors and the concert is a culmination of two days of intense rehearsals with guest clinicians.

This is Amber's first time going to this honor band. But both Robert & Tabitha have attended. And this was Robert's favorite (besides Music in May in Oregon) and he couldn't be MORE excited for her, as are we. Tab, which was your favorite?

It's a challenge to balance play practice, bassoon lessons, and voice lessons. Add homework, early morning Jazz Band and Spirit Band (where she plays the piano), and early morning seminary (Bible study), we have one B-U-S-Y girl.
