K went to Orchestra Camp the first full week. She had a wonderful time, playing some really cool music and having the bass teacher all to herself. She was the only bass at the whole camp, about 200 kids, so he just followed her around. Luckily, he is a wonderful young man, always smiling and a wonderful teacher, so she loved every minute. And she got to hang with the percussion crew, cause the bass is kinda percussion too, (in a just string orchestra the bass sets the tempo and the tone. The conductor is forever yelling "Follow the bass!!!!" When she gets off, they all go with her, it's really kinda funny to hear, but only at rehearsal.) K's fingers were red and blistered by the end, but she loved it and can't wait till band camp in July. Did I mention the purple Fedora. It's a band/orchestra geek thing. Not sure she's ever taking it off.
Last week K was sick so we just hung out at home and did a bit of sewing. We finished out handkerchief skirts, which we have been wearing ever since. I followed Cyndee Kromminga tutorial on eHow. Super easy. We made ours drop waists, just cause. K's is almost square and mine is a rectangle. Very fun.
They are very twirly.
