Thank you everyone for the well wishes! The second half of the talent contest was tonight and I performed. I had a fantastic time and there were some other great acts - including lots of country. Unfortunately I didn't make it through to the next round, but I still had a great time performing. I think maybe I'll have to switch to country next year - Allison Krauss style perhaps. There was one photo taken, but I'll have to get it online for you later. Thanks again everyone for your support! <3 Caitlin

Caitlin,
Keep plugging away girl. Country may be the best way to get your foot in the door. I think that genre would work for Hayley also in the US.

Hi everyone Well, the day has finally come - the day I head to Uni. In just a short hour I'll be hitting the road. I'm really excited and yes, a bit nervous. Tim, I sang Colors of the Wind again. We weren't expected to change what we sang - in fact if we were to make it to the finals we were asked to KEEP the same song. My friends Andrea, Jennifer and Julia (who make up the group Sweet Harmony) won the talent contest for the open category and will be competiting at State Level tomorrow. Good luck to them ! My only big worry is being able to fit everything I have into my room - it's a lot!! I may not be able to be on during the next few days as there are events/meetings/auditions going on all the time. Off to finish packing now! <3 Caitlin

Hi Caitlin, it's so good to hear about all of the good things going on with you.
I look at life as a bunch of experiences and challenges. Both make us wiser as we progress through the various stages of our existence. You seem to be handling your challenges and experiences very, very well. You will "knock their socks off" in school....make many new friends, continue to work hard and become successful in achieving your goals.
Wishing you everything good that "life" has to offer, Gene

Caitlin,
Are you ready for the University culture shock? I'm sure you will handle it very well. All the best to you while you're matriculating.

Hi everyone! It’s been just about three and a half months since I’ve arrived at college. I never imagined anything like it is. I am currently enrolled in 9 classes and am only taking 8 of them. Why you may ask? Well, the class I am not taking is my piano class. A few weeks ago I passed the final exam in piano early and no longer have to take the class this semester. I wanted to tell you a little about what I’ve been doing. The classes that I’m taking which are music related are Music Theory, Musicianship, Voice Colloquium, my choir Kantorei, and private voice lessons. Yesterday I had my first performance in colloquium which is all the voice majors and the voice professors. I sang Mozart’s “Ridente la Calma” which is about someone who is going to get married. They are calm and excited about being tied to the “sweet chains” of marriage. I was nervous before performing and a bit during because my piece isn’t performance ready yet, but afterwards I just wanted to perform more. I suppose that might be a good thing, huh? My choir Kantorei, has been performing in Chapel every Sunday morning. We’ve also performed at the Inauguration of the University’s new president, Homecoming, and All Saints Vespers. Right now we’re preparing for Advent Christmas Vespers in which we have two performances in one day – the final one ending around midnight. Then the next morning we have our Juries – which is our final exam for singing and it determines which level voice studio we are placed in next semester. I will be singing two Italian pieces “Ridente la Calma” (Mozart) and “La Violette” by Alessandro Scarlatti. My roommate was so kind to take a picture of me before my performance. I thought I’d share it with you. I hope you’re well! <3 Caitlin
