Summer Review
September 1, 2009Hello everyone! I hope that you're all having a wonderful summer!
Our summer has been busy! In July, Kristen, Cody, and I attended the Steve Hurst School of Music in Cleveland, Tennessee. This year it was held at Lee University. So much is packed in to one week - here is a rough idea of our schedule:
6:00 Wake up - not my favorite part of the day!!!
7:00 Breakfast - biscuits and honey were amazing
8:20 Chapel - great music and great message by Pastor Rick Curry
9:30 Private vocal lesson - just us three with a great instructor!
10:45 Practice - we found empty piano rooms and sang, sang, sang!
12:00 Lunch
1:15 Private vocal lesson - just us three with a great instructor!
2:30 Theory - I usually skipped and took a nap! : )
3:45 Group class - on things like breathing, placement, vowels.....
5:00 Dinner
6:00 Choir - we learned 4 great new songs!
7:00 Evening concert - with groups like the Talley Trio, Booth Brothers, Mark Trammell Trio, Voices of Lee, and Tribute Quartet!
10:00 Hang out with friends - eating Chik-fil-a!!
12:00 Sleeeeeeep!
We had private vocal lessons with Aaron Unthank, Melissa Brady, Mike Donavon, Sherrie Forbes, Gary Casto, Dennis Dugger, Dustin Sweatman, John Darrin Rowsey, and Brian Alvey.
Such a great trip!
******************************
The rest of the summer has been filled with camping trips, destruction derbies, showing sheep at the fair, wedding plans, fire season and strike teams, moving Garrett and Sarah to Sacramento, and so much more!
******************************
In a few weeks, Kristen will be heading to Kentucky for the National Quartet Convention! She will fill her time listening to awesome music, hanging with lots of the friends we've made at Steve Hurst, and helping Melissa Brady with her product table in the exhibit hall. Pray for a safe trip for her - and let her know that you would love it if she would blog her experiences for all of us to read!
******************************
This Sunday night, September 6th, Eternal Praise will be singing at the Turlock First Baptist Church at 6:00pm. We'll be joined by RSV - a men's quartet from Bakersfield, CA. This group is made up of 4 school teachers, and they know how to have a great time! We love hanging out with them, and we know you'll love them as well! Plan to come out and join us for a great evening of music! The church is located at 290 W. Olive Street, Turlock, CA.
