I think tonight's the last night I'll be playing as leader of Havering Youth Orchestra, or "Havering Festival Orchestra" as it's called tonight. It's been a good year as leader. Plenty of awkward/boring/tiring/amazing times. Daniel has been a fab desk partner - I think he's going to study Music at university which is so cool! Havering Youth Orchestra leaders have all been amazing people. I don't think I quite fit the trend, with my general incompetence at everything, but I like to think I've tried my best. I think one of the best times I've had in this orchestra is when I piano-duetted Saint-Saën's Carnival of the Animals with Chris. All the concerts in London have been incredible, although always extremely tiring. The more local concerts are always good as well. Though actually... Tonight's concert will be the first that my Mother will actually come to see me in. My Dad declined when we asked him if he wanted to come, no surprise. My sister will be playing in the big string group as well, so they have like double the reason to come to the concert. But not enough for my Dad.
Hannah's part - I hope she's not too nervous!
