University Chorale November 20, 2008

I was very lucky to get to sing in the chorale Fall semester. I never realize how much I miss singing until I get to sing. I have also gotten to know Bro K. well, and this way I got to know his wife who was the director better as well.

Mom is not very sneaky with the picture taking. I saw her so I'm smirking, plus everyone around me thought that they needed to tell me she was there. :)

Don't we look so good. Where's Waldo... I mean Kellene?

The Kammerers and I

Megan is pretty awesome. She was another reason choir was so nice.

Strutting my mu'u mu'u. I was considering getting one for keeps, what do you think. ;)

Life Goes On

Even though Mom was there I still had to continue with school. Mom enjoyed watching me practice for my sight singing test and writing a research paper among other things.

We did however get to do some fun non-music related things. TheBus is a great way to get to Matsumoto's shave ice (always a must) and Haleiwa Thai eats (delicious as well).

Surprise - November 19, 2008

Mom surprised me by walking into my room the night of my Steel band concert. It was quite a shock but a very nice surprise. I enjoyed having her here to cheer for me.

It is a little hard to see but that is me setting up. We had a few songs with a percussion ensemble before the steel drums. I played marimba then the trumpet (and no that is not a percussion instrument) and I had a solo on the duck call. :) it took me hours to get the solo right. Actually they assigned me to it in the dress rehearsal hours before I was a bit nervous for that, it takes skill to play the duck call with proficiency.

I was glad Mom was there.

I am ashamed to say I didn't help taking down very much because everyone wanted my picture.

My fan club including Teresa was there with my poster. They are Awesome!

Salsa Concert (I'm way behind just in case you were wondering)

Well I figured I had better update my blog since it has been a while. hehe thirsty? SOOO I'll start and see how long it will take me to catch up.

Salsa Concert

November 15th, 2008 was the salsa ensemble concert. It went quite well. My fan club was there so I got lots of cheers. That is always nice.

The brass ensemble was supposed to play as well, however due to Bro Kammerer's (the director) heart trouble it was postponed.

Halloween

So I hadn't figured out what I wanted to be for Halloween and it was the afternoon/evening of Halloween and we decided to try and make my hair stick up with the aid of hangers but it was not working very well. It wasn't working so well and we were running out of time. it ended up that we messed up my hair majorly and I went as my hidden self... an insane woman. :)

Rachel went as an emo (which didn't work by the way because she can't keep from smiling and laughing) and Teresa went as a zombie princess. They were both gorgeous in a Halloweenish scary way, and then there was me. It took a load of conditioner, a half hour of combing it out, and a couple of days to get my hair back to normal.

Since Teresa is an RA and had to work at the Halloween activity that housing put on, that is where we went. The pictures are a little foggy because of the fog machine but that just adds to the crazy looks people had.

You better watch out we may end up at your door next year. hahahaha

Happy Halloween!

Dole Plantation Maze

We went to the Dole Plantation and went to the worlds largest maze according to the Guinness Book of World Records 2001 on October 25th . It rained a lot and we were thoroughly soaked. It was tons of fun though.

I was pretty excited to go since I had never been in a maze of any kind.

At this point we were not too wet and had just found one of the eight stations we needed to finish the maze.

After we were done, we were drenched from the rain and the wet hibiscus bushes, oh and also from having Teresa throw water on me from the wet metal station. Funny thing was, she did it without intending to and was more surprised than I was when my shirt became sopping wet.

A little more rain wasn't going to hurt anything.

Smile everyone... or open wide. I don't remember why this became the face of choice.

Picnic

October 19th
We missed dinner one night and decided to pull our resources together. It turned out quite well and was a lot of fun too. I really like having a room big enough to move in.
