My Senior Piano Recital Day
9:00 am – I get up, take a shower, and eat a light breakfast of Blueberry Mini Wheats.
10:00 am – warm up scales on the piano, start painting finternails, Alia comes online and I begin rp’ing with her.
12:00 pm – Finally finish fingernails. Still rp’ing.
12:15 pm – Eat a light lunch of one pizza slice. Still rp’ing.
1:30 pm – Finish getting ready to leave. Still rp’ing.
1:40 pm – Leave for campus.
2:00 pm – Arrive on campus, change into formal, head to the concert hall to find Dr. D already there.
2:10 pm – Begin working on warm-ups again.
2:15 pm – Parents arrive. Get programs put out on music stand in the lobby.
2:35 pm – More people begin to arrive, I go backstage and sit there waiting to begin the recital.
3:00 pm – Call the technician because he didn’t get the broken piano string cut off of the second concert grand.
3:05 pm – Begin the program.
- Slight mistake in Prelude in D Major by Rachmaninoff, repeat about four measures and on track for the rest.
- Rock out on Polichnelle by Rachmaninoff. Hey, I knew I’d not get it perfect no matter the tempo. So boo-yah.
- Discover that nail polish and glissando’s don’t mix. Leave lovely blue streak down half the keys of the $100,000 concert grand piano. Oops.
4:00 pm – Everyone claps, little cousin, looking VERY proud, carries up two bouquets of a dozen roses. I give one to Dr. D. Little cousin comes back carrying a blue gift bag which she gives to me, which I then give to Dr. D. Dr. D says I really shouldn’t have.
4:30-ish – I give my little cousin one of the roses from my bouquet. She was still holding it with both hands, kissing the rose, when they leave. ^_^ So adorable.
5:00 pm – I change clothes, go with my cheer squad to the mall. Parents and other family members head to buffet.
5:20 pm – get sixteen inches cut off of my hair. It’s now chin length which is shorter than I’ve ever had it before.
5:45 pm – Arrive at buffet and eat with family.
7:00 pm – Return to my place. Share the fun with friends. More RP’ing with Alia.
