District Piano Competition

This past Saturday Caroline and I had the great experience of participating in Kansas Music Educators Association's (KMEA) District Piano Competition! It was held in Sterling, KS at Sterling College. Caroline and I were both in group B, where you play 3 songs instead of the usual 2.(Very elite group!!!)
You must play each of your songs from different time periods of music.
Caroline played
"Aria" by Domenico Scarlatti
"Sonatina in C" by Muzio Clementi
"The Merry Farmer" by Robert Schumann

I played
"Invention No. 1 in C Major" by Johann Sebastian Bach
"Cavalry Gallop" by Dmitri Kabalevsky
"Important Event" by Robert Schumann
(If you want to watch/listen to these you can find them all on Youtube or come on over and we can play them for you!!!)

After playing our songs before an adjudicator, you have to wait until they post your results. If you get a "II" rating (2) you are finished, but if you get a "I" rating (1) you get to go to State Piano Competitions.
Well.......(drumroll, please!!)
Caroline and I both got "I" ratings, so we get to go to STATE!!!!!
It is held @ the University of Kansas on November 8. We will continue practicing our songs until then!



On our way to State Competitions!!!!
