If the title wasn't a giveaway, I'm successfully back home from New Orleans. And I've got a gnarly sunburn on my face, neck, and shoulders. Wooh.

The band received a silver rating, which, for our first time, is pretty awesome. We were the first group to perform - 8am. Had to wake up at 5am. >_O We also received a sort of spirit award (best representions of our school/community) and two of three "maestro" awards for solos. One went to my friend Meghan on flute, and the other to Lauren, my oboe buddy since forever. For the first time in my life, I cried tears of joy. I was so excited and proud of her.

I also learned that Cinematic Titanic is coming back to the Lakeshore Theater September 10th through 12th for five shows. I immediately texted Schultzie, and we're going. I would randomly spaz on the bus with the garbled phrase "CinatmicTitaniciscomingbacktoChicagoinSeptember!"

Detailed post coming later. Now I'm just relaxing, catching up on things, and waiting to chill out in Movie Sign.
