Blair NYRO Audition 2014

On August 16th, Moo and I drove to the campus of Vanderbilt University and parked in the garage across from the Blair School of Music.  I took this picture just outside of the building where she would audition for the Youth Repertory Orchestra (see more info about the program HERE).    Honestly, I am surprised that I could hold my shaking hands still enough to focus the camera...and yet my daughter--the one with the audition ahead of her!!--seemed completely gathered and serene.  If I hadn't actually given birth to her, I would wonder where exactly she came from...

Just this Monday, we checked the audition results to find out that she made it!  To add sprinkles to the frosting on the cake--her pal Caroline made it too.  So after 10 days of anxiety over how this would all pan out, all is well...  ;)

We are so proud of and thankful for the dedication she has for her music, and we are excited that she gets to work, grow and make music in a great orchestral program like Blair--it's pretty unreal.
