| | I'm currently sitting in the terminal at the Oklahoma City airport, waiting to board my delayed flight to Chicago. What better time to update Xanga?
As I mentioned in my last post, life over the past month has been crazy. I'm just wrapping up the last event of that craziness. I've been in Oklahoma City for four days for the bi-annual ACDA (American Choral Director's Association) convention. This was my first time to an ACDA national convention, and it was tons of fun. Literally several dozen of the best choirs from around the nation and world, lots of seminars and interests sessions, a huge exhibit hall with everything choral, and networking with the choral world. Got to see my dear friends and colleagues Rich and Ginger Colla from Modesto as well a whole host of other folks I know. I think the performance by the American Boychoir may have been my favorite event.
Graduate school auditions went really well. I got accepted at all three schools I auditioned at: University of Illinois, University of Washington, and University of Arizona. I'm waiting until all the financial things are settled to "officially" announce my choice, but let's just say that the desert could be a fascinating place to live. I only got accepted at one school when I applied for master degree programs, so it's really nice to be able to choose a place rather than simply going to the only place I got accepted. No diss intented on where I went for my masters...it was a great school, it's just nice to have a choice!
My brother Cyrus got married in a beautiful ceremony. I had to hold back the tears as his bride started to walk down the aisle. I'm afraid I may be a complete mess when my own bride walks down the aisle in just over 100 days.
Life is still busy over the next month or so, but thankfully I think the biggest insanity of the semester is over. Sara and I are going to a Gaither Homecoming Concert on Saturday and my community choir's concert is the end of the month and then we move into the last few weeks of the semester. But I'll be very glad to be able to be in Indiana for more than 3 or 4 days at a time as it has been over the last month.
