Honors Concert

In conjunction with the Local/Regional Auditions, there was an Honor Concert held for those who got an Outstanding score.  It was not mandatory but felt it another good opportunity for Abby to practice and play in front of a group.

There were some amazingly talented kids that played.  Lots of Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Chopin were all played.

Here's Abby's piece:


She did a great job!  We are off to Regional Auditions on Saturday in Macon.

Musical girl

Abby was given an assignment to have an entry for the 
"No Place for Hate" campaign.  This is thru her school but kids throughout the country participate.

Abby chose to write lyrics to the song "Roar" by Katy Perry then she recorded it along w/her playing her guitar.

Here are her lyrics:

A Song Without Hate

Let me tell you ‘bout a place I know
It’s a place where you and I should go
There’s no bullying, crying or fighting.

It’s a place of happiness
If you go you should know this
You’ll be accepted and not rejected

It helped us up when we were down
Come along into our town
Where there is no place for the hate
I’m telling you there’s no mistake.

It helped us up when we were down
Come along into our town
There is no place for the hate.

It’s a world without hate,
No fighting, bullying or crying
Cause we’re gonna change the world
One little act at a time.
Acceptance of everybody
Cause we’re gonna change the world,
One little act at a ti-i-i-i-i-ime
Ti-i-i-i-i-ime, one li-i-i-i-itle.
One little act at a time (pause)

Change, Change, Change the World.

It’s a world without hate no
fighting, bullying or crying.
Cause we’re gonna change the world.
One little act at a time. Acceptance of
Everybody.

 Cause we’re gonna change the world.
One little act at a Ti-i-i-i-i-ime, ti-i-i-i-ime, one li-i-i-i-i-tle.
One little act at a ti-i-i-i-i-ime, ti-i-i-i-i-ime, one li-i-i-i-i-itle.
One little act at a time

Here's the song:
