Junior Year
Posted by Cayce Wilkinson on Tuesday, March 13, 2012
I'm approaching the end of my junior year at Clemson! What's happened since I last updated?
Clemson had a great football season, and the whole band went to the Orange Bowl. I loved being section leader and guiding my clarinets - we had a great section!
In January, the theatre department started rehearsal for Guys and Dolls. I was on hand as the rehearsal pianist, as well as piano in the orchestra. And get this - I got to be assistant music director! That should be great experience... I even led a rehearsal when Dr. Spede was out of town. The show was February 29-March 4, and as always, everyone did a fantastic job, I learned so much, and I am thrilled to have been a part of the production.
Yesterday was also a big day for me. I successfully put on my senior piano recital! I had about 50 people come out and support me, and I greatly appreciate that. I played a broad range of pieces from Scarlatti to Grieg to Khachaturian, and it all went pretty well. Special thanks to my piano professor, Dr. Li-Bleuel, and my family who traveled a long way and helped with the reception.
This summer, I'll be working with Housing Summer Programs at Clemson again, which I'm pleased about. It's a good job and will give me a chance to save up some money. The symphonic band is also going to London to play at some venues during the 2012 Summer Olympics. I am really excited about that - it should be an amazing trip!
