On Saturday Karli went and tried out for the 2010 Regional Orchestra with her handy dandy bass! When Karli came home that day she was in good spirits but told us that she totally bombed it and she would be surprised if she even got a spot on the orchestra.
Later that night she got this e-mail that was sent to all the Red Mountain High School and Shepherd Junior High students that tried out!

Karli got the e-mail and was completely floored by what it said! Not only did she get a spot but she got the number one chair in the bass section! For those of you that don't know what that means, it means that she got was the best at tryouts and got "first place" if you will and will be the lead in that section! For a sophomore this is a huge honor and Karli ran around the house telling and calling anyone and everyone she could think of to let them know! I'm so proud of her and can't wait to see them perform! Also I want to give a shout out to Ashley Hemauer (A.K.A. Cute Little Ashley) Karli's friend from elementary school who got third chair in Viola!
