Carson is quite a
talented violinist. We knew that. The District Solo and
Ensemble Competition confirmed it. Carson had been working with his
private teacher to perfect a solo to play in the competition. I was
able to accompany him. I truly loved it! I was so proud
of Carson and the judge was very impressed. Carson was given top
scores.
Austin also participated
in the solo and ensemble competition. Given his illness I was his
constant companion. I did everything I could to ease his anxiety and
help with the nausea. We used sea bands, aromatherapy, relaxation
techniques, and peppermints and ginger to stave of the vomiting and get him
through. He was sicker than a dog. The seminary building
was across the street from the high school where the competition was
being held. The church let the Union HS choir use it so Austin could
have a semi-private bathroom and dark room to rest in between his performance
times. You could tell he was so sick, but the second he began to
sing he put on a good face and performed his heart out. It took them
all the way to a state championship. He was able to do his
part. Austin, we are so proud of you.
