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!

She's like the Swallow
That flies so high.
She's like the river
That never runs dry.
She's like the sunshine
On the lee shore.
I love my love,
And love is no more.

It's out of wild roses she made her bed.
A stony pillow for her head.
She laid her down, no word she spoke.
Until this fair maid's heart was broke.

She's like the swallow
That flies, so high!
She's like the river
That never runs dry!
She's like the sunshine
On the lee shore!
I love my love,
And love is no more.

I love my love.
And love is no more.

Results of Solo and Ensemble. It was really fun, I love hanging out with the choir. The best performance from our school, the judges chose, was Lindsey. So congrats to her! Also, the best pianist from all the schools was our own Jane, so good job to her! All the numbers were beautiful. I ended up getting a 2+ on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the lowest. So pretty good for someone who's never done this before. :D
