sprint200 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The pilot of the White Terlingua (our daughter) recently competed in the Oklahoma Stae MTNA Senior Flute competition ("Senior" being the level of play, she's still a junior in high school). And she WON! :happy feet: So now she goes to the Divisional Competitions and if successful, on to Nationals Anway, thought maybe some of you would enjoy hearing one of the pieces she performed: Enjoy................

clark17357 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have a serious suggestion - bring her to the Birthday Bash in January. At the Saturday night dinner, she can play for all of us. I think everyone would be pretty touched to have something like that to listen to, especially that number. I know I would. She is very good (but you already knew that). Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the video and she plays wonderfully...I wish her much luck in the upcoming competitions :party2: Leann Thank you! Truth be told, she was terribly nervous and made several uncharacteristic mistakes (well-hidden but to a professional). Her rehearsal two days earlier was spectacular! Hopefully with the nerves behind her, Divisionals will be less of a "big deal" to her. I have a serious suggestion - bring her to the Birthday Bash in January. At the Saturday night dinner, she can play for all of us. I think everyone would be pretty touched to have something like that to listen to, especially that number. I know I would. She is very good (but you already knew that). Jim Sadly, it is the same weekend as the Divisional competitions Perhaps in the future...........I know she would be honored (and would love to take her "Bunny" for a few laps, too ) Congrats! You must be very Proud. Dave Honestly, I want to be proud; but am instead humbled by the tremendous gift and responsibility God has given me to be her father! She has already surpassed her father in so many ways, and she has only just started........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRT 0403 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Sounds great Jeff, did she get her musical talent from you?? :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 A fine effort by a talented and poised young lady. That is admirable. What moves me is what I know about the hard work and application she had to bring to bear to reach that level. Good for her; it reflects credit on her parents, as well. Congratulations.

cobrafan Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Jeff, All I can say is WOW! Give her a big hug from the Shelby gang and let her know that we are pulling for her in division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprint200 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Bravo! Those competitions are stressful but fun! Good for her! So do you guys have the flutist/flautist conversations? Why would we ever do that? :rolleyes: Actually, I'm pretty "old school" and used to insist on "flautist"! But her private instructor (a college professor) says otherwise. :unsure: So I did some searching..... and a quick look at several principal "flutists" in orchestras and symphonies around the country confirm that "flutist" is now the accepted professional designation. Thanks for all the well wishes! We're just tickled that, on her first try, she made it past the state competition. If that's it this year, then she'll have another shot at it next year! Either way, she has far exceeded all of our expectations! Anything else is "icing on the cake" :party2: edit: emoticon malfunction........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
