New Session!

So we've been here for almost a month now and the new session has started in full swing. Before the session started though, Stephen and I went to Boston for a day to see some old friends and so he could see the city. Now there are over 70 musicians here which is many more than last session (they had to buy more beds and squeeze them into cabins to make room for everyone). The music I'm playing this session is much more difficult than last session and my groups are amazing. Today is the third day of rehearsals and all my groups are going well. Last night we had a scavenger hunt and then we all hung out in the kitchen helping Stephen make cookies.

pics I forgot to post of the hike at sunset..

Update!

So we've been here for two weeks now and its been great! I've been rehearsing every day and making sure all the campers I'm responsible for (a handful of 13-yr-old boys) are in bed on time. The cabin is coming along nicely, although the massive amounts of rain has slowed down the process a bit. As of now all the walls are up as well as the porch.

The faculty concert was this last Tuesday, and it was very exciting. They played several Bach cantatas with the faculty singer as well as two more modern pieces that I really liked. It rained for the past few days, and all through the concert- which added to the mood of the two modern pieces which were more dark and moody than the Bach.

Yesterday was our day off, which was spent doing laundry and hanging out in downtown Keene.
