Contests are OVER!!!

I am so happy!!! Solo/ensemble contests are all over and I don't have to worry anymore. The contests were yesterday at Lakeville South High School. I got up at 5:00 to get ready. I drove up with Ray and his Mom. We left at about 6:30. When we got to Lakeville South High School we found the room where Ray would be playing. He did a snare solo at 9:00 and it was amazing! He did very well. We were so proud! It was fun to watch him play. I could tell he was a little bit nervous. After he was done with his solo we went to the Burnsville Mall and Red Lobster. We had a lot of time to do whatever we wanted because my vocal solo wasn't until 2:30. We had a lot of fun at the mall and the food at Red Lobster was really good. I don't like seafood so whenever we go there I just get chicken strips but they are still really good. We got back to the school at around 1:00 and I started getting warmed up. I was so nervous!!! I don't think my solo went very well. I don't know what my score was yet but I'll find out tomorrow. I had an awesome day. Contests are always a good experience even if it's really nerve wracking.
