Whether it be sleeping in the breakfast room, laughing and singing in the lunch room, borderline crying from exhaustion in the dining room, or sleeping during a recital (what?! Who would do such a thing?!) LSM has been SUCH a great experience! Between the two of us, we have greatly enjoyed band, orchestra, Chapel Choir, music theory class, small ensembles, and of course private lessons with wonderful faculty. As first year LSM students, we have been grateful for the variety of activities going on daily, including our everyday classes, recreational opportunities and all of the fantastic evening recitals.
This evening’s recital featured our fellow LSM friends in their various small ensemble groups. From woodwind quintets to choral groups and percussion ensembles, a great amount of talent was exploited throughout the duration of the recital. “Playing in the fanfare to start off the evening was a great opportunity, and I am glad to have performed it with my small ensemble” (Rebecca Keller). Also, as one student commented between numbers, “I find it very funny that Cheryl Lemmons is turning pages as opposed to playing tonight!” Of course, she was giving way to allow her piano students to play aka making room for the new musicians of the world!
With this oncoming week of music, including soloists, small and large ensembles, duets or even our bassoon oboe octet, performing will be a great accomplishment of all our hard work. As we enter the fourth and final week, Festival Week, the sleep deprivation will truly set in, yet with this last week, we will create memories to last a lifetime.
