Orchestra

So, I'm a star! well, not quite. but, this week, we had our debut concert with the orchestra i have been practicing with. we played theme songs from different movies, Superman, West Side Story, Pirates of the Carribean, Indiana Jones, Ben Hur, etc while they played clips from the movies behind us and had characters roaming through the audience. We played in the Presidential Theater, and had about 700 in the audience the first night, and over 1000 the second night!

It was a lot of fun, and i even made it into the national newspaper! You can check out the picture: http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/pdf/20080823/EDH20080823CUL042P.pdf (i'm the one wearing red)

anyways, here are some videos, even though the sound quality isnt that great:

and the week of music continues...tomorrow night i have a concert with our jazz quintet! last time we only played 6 songs, this time we are playing 15. so keep posted for some videos from that. also, sneak peek of another future post...turns out that they moved me into a new classroom (again!), so ill try to put up some pics of that.
