Mahler's 5th: Day 1

This semester, USU's symphony is playing Mahler's 5th Symphony with UofU. We played our first concert in Salt Lake this week. After the rehearsal, we had 3 hours to kill before the concert so Patrick's dad took us to the Clark Planetarium. We had a grand time.

"Newton's Daydream " in action.

An image of Earth was projected onto the sphere by 4 projectors.

For all you hard-core Trekkies out there...

After the first killer concert.

We had some car problems so we decided to stay the night in Salt Lake rather than face the prospect of breaking down on the freeway in the dark. We got a really nice hotel room for pretty cheap. The bed was a king-size and it was like sleeping on a huge cloud! The next day, we took the car to a shop and it's only going to be a very minor repair! Whew! We were able to drive home safely, and thanks to many prayers and some amazing divine intervention, we won't have to spend too much to fix the problem. We were even able to get home in time for me to take my Geology test....
