So, I came back from the FWMTA Piano Solo Contest about 3 hours ago. It was a great experience. I got a honorable mention, which is like a 4th place or 5th place. I felt like I did good although my mom thought I could do better. All of my mom's students went with us and we all did VERY well. We had 9 people go and 6 of us got awards. Four 1+'s and one 2nd place and then there's me with the honorable mention.
This experience motivated me to keep on going with my piano playing, because of all the 12th and 11th graders. This really taught me a lot and made me feel that I really need to practice. I actually LOVED this contest, but I felt that some of the awards were given away, because of their teacher. For example, one of our more-experienced player (who is REALLY good) got second place compared to this one REALLY horrible player, who got first. And of course, his teacher worked at the association, so he was very well-known. And that is why I think our player didn't get 1st.
Overall I did enjoy this experience and I hope I will be doing this more often.
P.S. I have decided not to post on Friday's, so I can have 1 day off to come up with ideas.

Congrats, Daniel! An honorable mention is a great encouragement. I wish I could get one at a music contest but it's absolutely impossible because I don't play any musical instrument ... XD
