7/10/2017 0 Comments Music Camp Community (part 2)So, to answer the question from Music Camp Community (part 1), which was:
"How can I have this kind of community away from camp?" I began thinking about this, wondering whether it was even possible. I concluded that no two groups of people could ever be the same, because no two individuals are the same. But I believe one person truly can make a difference, especially in his or her own community.

7/1/2017 3 Comments Thoughts from this weekI know it’s been two weeks.
The first week I procrastinated, the second week… I’ve been learning things. Some I learn quicker than others. But besides God, Experience is always the best teacher. I was angry. I was hurt. I wrestled unimaginably hard with myself. Because I knew what I should do. Even if the thought didn’t fully form in my mind. And my flesh raged back at the injustice it felt, lashing back at the pain. It wouldn’t hurt until you touched it. Like a bruise. But then it was uncovered, poked and prodded, and I screamed inside. I held on. So tightly that I couldn’t handle the pressure I was putting on myself. I thought I had two options, and I knew both of them were wrong. I really had four. 6/13/2017 2 Comments Music Camp Community (part 1)This week was crazy busy. But I enjoyed it a lot, since I spent it at a music camp.
It was hosted at a Christian university just three hours away. We played our instruments together, learned music theory, tested the waters of a composition program called Finale, and sang together as a choir. One of the songs we sang was an upbeat, Latin-American piece called “La Música” by Jay Althouse. The first line is: “La música nos une por todo el mundo.” Translated, that means “the music unites us all over the world." This fit our experience at camp well – many of the kids in the group lived much further than three hours from the university, and we found that we loved singing and playing together in the practice rooms whenever we had the chance. 5/3/2017 0 Comments Yesterday was a sad day.
