Yesterday was the best day ever!! It was the Utah State Piano Festival. My mom and I left at about 7:15am to go to Logan and we spent literally all day up there! I competed in 3 divisions: Baroque/Classical, Concerto, and Impressionistic.  I placed 2nd in the Baroque/Classical and Impressionistic divisions and placed 3rd in the Concerto division. It was definitely very exciting for me! Not only am I excited that I placed but I am also excited that I feel like I played my very best and I enjoyed performing. A lot of times during competitions I just can't wait for them to be over. But yesterday I really felt happy when I played. The happiness and joy overruled the nervous which really helped. Again thanks for everyone's support! I especially want to thank my parents for driving me to Logan each week and using their time to help me pursue my dream!
