So, as you all know, last friday I got to play back up to David Archuleta. How did this happen you might ask? Well this is what happened, earlier in the week my friend heather came and told me her secret. She had gotten a "gig" as we musicians call them, but she was hesitant to tell me what it was. Finally I cracked her and she told me all about the David Archuleta concert. I had known about it for a while as all of my roommates had gotten tickets except for me. I never watched him on American Idol and I didn't really care...who needs another pop star anyway right?
However, on friday morning I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Two violinists (Both dudes) had dropped out of the orchestra and Sarah (the girl putting it together) was having a panic attack right in front of my work desk. then as if in slow motion her head turned to acknowledge me sitting at my computer. She came up and asked me If I was feeling like a confident violinist at the moment. (I told her YES of course) and then she asked me to play with them that night. Heather was right there and both of us got far to excited! I promised I would never be one of "those" girls... ya know...a "groupie." Well I skipped the rest of my classes to rehearse. My professors didn't mind, they were just as excited as I was.
This was my first POP concert EVER and the best part about it was I was getting paid to go and I was in it!
I was so sure that they were going to have him sing to a track and just have him mostly lip sync...but NO! He doesn't do that! he has such a good voice and he is very kind and loves his family a ton! I know cause I saw how he reacted when they came up to him after the concert. So If you buy the His new Christmas Album...all the orchestral parts in the background...those are me. Well, at least at the concert they were me. yup so thats that....It was fun...Ya jealous?
