Flute Camp
Today was pretty busy, from a counselor point of view. i didn’t cry during In Remembrance like i did my first year. My first year i was sobbing the entire way back home. but now, things have changed. i have some semblance of a process to block the river of tears that COULD have flowed. it also helps that nowadays, everyone is just a facebook or an email away, so the friendships made at flute camp can stay that way.
yesterday was pretty emotionally draining, two beautiful performances by such young talented musicians. sigh….that poulenc…and that griffes…
the hardest part was probably cleaning up. it was only yesterday that i was walking around, shredding my thumbs on thumbtacks trying to put up the room assignments and several hours ago i was taking them down again in front of empty rooms where only moments before were rampant with happy flute campers. everywhere i walked after everyone had left, my heart would ache when i would walk into the fireside room and see no one there.
i guess that is life, things come and go, and you should appreciate them while they are there, and cherish those memories for years to come
