So part of Solo and Ensemble was a piano compition. We had three people do Piano solos, Josh, Breanna, and Jane. Josh went first, and he was really good. Like, he's REALLY good, and I really liked his piece. But it wasn't really... jaw-dropping, you know? Breanna went, and she was good. Then Jane went. Her piece was beautiful, and the way her fingers flew across the piano, hitting at least ten notes a second, was truly amazing. So I've decided to add Jane Raty's Piano Skills to my Amazing list.

Here's the list again:

Mikayla Whitehead's Dancing
Aerin Loizos's Singing
Rachel Kirkland's Spanish Spelling
Rachel Davis's Drawing
Jeremiah Pena's Music Composing
Jane Raty's Piano Skills

Congrats, Jane! You've earned it!

IT'S OFFICIAL!

The music created by Jeremiah Pena has now been put on my Amazing List!!!!

It's a bit differant then the others, because it didn't literally make my jaw drop. But I just couldn't let that get in the way of it, especially after his newest song, "Overtaken". I listened to this song, and it just filled me with emotion. Tragedy, Anguish, it was absolutely amazing. I ended up writing a peom to it, just thoughts that came as I listened to the song, and I think it's pretty good. You can find it on my poems page, under the name Overtaken.

The list so far:

1. McKayla Whitehead's dance.
2. Aerin Loizos's singing.
3. Rachel Kirkland's spelling. (It's wierd, but true)
4. Rachel Davis's drawing.
5. Jeremiah Pena's music.

ALWAYS BE AMAZING! That's one of my mottos. And Jeremiah definately has achieved it. Good work with everything, and continue to create your wonderful music!

I was thinking about how I have so many amazing people in my life. All my friends, my family, my teachers, everyone is so great. I was thinking, maybe I'll start doing an Amazing person of the month. If you'd be interested in that, say so, and if you'd like to be part of it, send me a bunch of information about you, anything you can think of! I think I might make a questionnaire, but of course I haven't yet.

I also have a list of amazing things. This list is of things that caught my eye, made my jaw drop, and made me say "Wow..." Cause I couldn't think of anything else to say.

1. McKayla Whitehead's Dancing. (I have to say though... We have two dance concerts a year, and I gave it to her the first on of this year. The second one was kinda disappointing compared to the first... but she's still the best dancer I know. (That I've seen dance, at least.))

2. Rachel Kirkland's Spelling (We had a Spanish spelling bee... and she won every round except one, which our team won.)

3. Aerin Loizos's Singing. (She told me she liked singing, and I expected her to be really good at it, but when I actually heard it at the Concert, she was way better than I even expected, and that was a lot!)

4. Rachel Davis's Drawing. (I gave her that for this drawing:

I asked her to draw me a picture of a dragon coming out of it's egg. She didn't even have to do it... but the result was Amazing! By the way, Rachel, I can use this picture now for whatever I want, right?)
Also, I'm looking at this list, and I'm thinking... Why are there only girls on it? Come on, guys! You need to step it up! Just Kidding. Chances are, if you're trying to impress me, you probably won't. I want to give a big shout out to everybody I know:

Thanks for being Amazing!
