The Big Apple: live blogging from senior Jared Murray

It’s 10:29 p.m. on March 3 and the FC Symphony Orchestra is almost home! Despite sitting on a bus all day long watching Mean Girls and Spongebob,  it’s been exhausting and right now almost everyone is catching up on lost sleep. I’ll have to admit, I originally did not want to go on this trip. I went 3 years ago and figured that I saw and heard everything I needed to then. Why I thought that is beyond me, because one can never fully understand New York and I’m truly glad I came again and was able to perform at the Lincoln Center one more time.

Thank you FC Bagpiper for letting me show you an inside look into the FCHS Symphony Orchestra, I’ve really enjoyed it!

Blogger, out.

The Big Apple: live blogging from senior Jared Murray

It’s 5:05 am on Feb. 28, and we are only in Pennsylvania after sitting in traffic for two hours waiting for a wreck to be cleared. The kids in the back are laughing hysterically, attempting to recreate musical numbers from Pitch Perfect, and going slightly insane from lack of sleep and possibly considering canibalism due to severe hunger pains. The adults in the front are probably frowning at us, wishing they could put us to sleep for the rest of the trip. After that exhausting two hours of waiting for a plethora of fire trucks to put out a flaming semi, I’m ready to sleep for the rest of the ride up, but I doubt that will happen now that everyone is riled up about how close we are. And if you’re still wondering, we haven’t resorted to eating each other. . . Yet.
