Orchestra Concert

I'm so sorry I haven't written in a while! I have been rehearsing for our Orchestra concert almost every night this week and the nights that I wasn't rehearsing, I was doing homework! Anyway, the concert was last night and went amazingly well! I play violin in "the Seconds". I doubt I'll ever be able to sit with my friends in "First violins" because I don't have lessons and I don't do grades but the violin teachers at the orchestra don't seem to understand...It was good though, even if we were only on for about twenty minutes. We kicked off the concert with "Rule Britannia" and moved on to "Welsh Anthems" (Bread of Heaven, International Velvet by Catatonia, Have a Nice day by Stereophonics and Delilah by Tom Jones) straight after which was a pretty good mix of Welsh songs in my opinion. Then we did Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld, Land of Hope and Glory and finished with the Sailor's Hornpipe which got faster and faster. Then we had to play it again, even faster this time, so the audience could "join in". All they did was clap so it seemed pretty pointless to me. I don't actually want a rest tonight! I really want to go and play in orchestra again. I love playing music so much. Its wonderful to know your playing something that effects how somebody feels....
