A couple of weeks ago Bunch decided she wanted to compose a song to perform in her school talent show this year. She worked on it for the week before auditions, and was pretty nervous that day. Seventy-one acts tried out, but only twenty-one would make the cut and there is a LOT of talent in her school. She felt good about her performance, but either way, she was just glad to have it behind her.
Well, she made it. I was scheduled to fly that day, but ended up being in town because of a head cold. I made sure I was all ready with a full battery and empty memory card to record her performance. So imagine how disappointed I was when a minute into her song my camera turned off...I realized that it had been on the camera setting and not the video setting, so after 60 seconds of inactivity it powered down. I quickly switched on, but only got the last half of her performance which was AMAZING, the best I've ever heard her play it. The kids cheered like crazy.
But today I was happy to have another chance to capture her playing it during a small piano recital at her teacher's home. In her words, "it wasn't quite as good as the talent show", but she still did a fine job.
The name of her piece is Soaring.
Here is her recital piece from last spring, and the one a year and a half ago with her first piano teacher.
