Summer's Piano competition

Summer has been doing private piano lessons for about 2 months at Art City Music Academy.  (because she graduated from group lessons.)  When she started, her teacher had her begin learning a song by JS Bach so that she could participate in the Baroque Music Festival which was today.  In her age division there were about 35 music students who auditioned.  She went in and played her piece in front of a judge.  After all of the students had auditioned, they called back 10 students to return later in the day for a recital and competition.  I was very surprised that Summer got called back mostly because it was her first competition.  So, we went back later in the day for the recital.  She performed  2nd out of 10.  She did wonderfully, but so did a few other kids.  One girl was unbelievably good for her age group and she got a trophy for outstanding performance.  And so did Summer.  I was so proud of her to make it to the top 2 out of 35 students who auditioned.  She was very nervous, but I'm sure it will get easier with each competition.  She is already looking forward to learning a song for the next festival.   

Notice: I don't have a picture of Summer's performance today because Rick's new birthday present has not arrived yet.  (Don't tell him, he'll be so excited.)  see previous post if you're confused about the camera situation.
