thats her mum (my missus) sitting next to her - she just happens to be a violin music teacher - now who said earlier my daughter should play the violin ??
cheers all - I think we're going to have the same type of phone call every night until we collect her
@Jay - and she wasn't really trying too hard in that session - I'm very proud to say the least
when she auditioned to get in, she was one of 4 out of roughly 200 applicants for percussion - its got to say something
I understand what your saying Dan - what should have happened from the outset is NO PHONES - you can ring your parents after say 3 or 4 days, once and thats it !!
ignorance (on the whole) is bliss
I used to be a scout leader - so know exactly whats going on there - she's having a ball, but once she speaks to us or settles down for the night - thats when it all kick off.
Dblock
dear god - the fire alarm went off today and thats scared her silly - frightened that her most loved cuddly toy (a little rabbit) plus the phone had gone up in smoke - it was just a false alarm in a different building - nowhere near her dorm
I think the staff are getting exasperated now as well
on a plus note (through the crying) after she rang last night (again sobbing) - she said she wasn't crying going to bed, they went playing games and she was quite happy
talk about a sodding roller coaster - I now hate roller coasters
there will be NO next time - I can't stand it
just waiting for the latest update - she rings around 3:30pm and then again at 7:30pm - its the 7:30 one thats (usually) the problem
there's a concert at the end of the course, followed by another at the Symphany Hall, Birmingham with the whole of the youth Orchestra - she desparately wants to do these
I'm about to do a little "work" on mine - what setting should I put the torque on ?
I thought it was 105 N.m - but Graham appears to be doing it in imperial ??
My daughter (10 yrs old) is away in Dorset at the moment with the National Childrens Orchestra - incredible opportunity
but she's dreadfully homesick and sobbing down the phone to us - is refusing to come home though
its destroying me
