To Our Family and Friends,We would like to send a great big THANK YOU to everyone for their tremendous support allowing us (Joilyn, Julian and Jameel Martin) the opportunity to attend the Sewanee Summer Music Festival. Any and all of the contributions provided, whether prayer, financial, personal items, or food were very much appreciated, as everything supported our efforts to have an awesome experience while at Sewanee, The University of the South Summer Music Festival.
We must say that this summer was a learning experience for us. While adjusting to a rigorous schedule of rehearsals, practices, private lessons, and performances, we were also expected to maintain and clean our rooms and keep up with our laundry and other belongings. This is no easy task at home; however, things went well while adjusting to campus life. There were a few missing or lost items – for example, we lost a key, music, and an ID and didn’t have them all summer, but they were discovered when we packed to go home or unpacked when we got home!
As expected, our passion for music has been taken to another level, along with the desire to continue on with our goals in the music/orchestra arena. Composers, compositions, and college-required audition pieces have now become a common topic for discussion in our home. We are now back to our daily lives with music being heard from sunrise to sunset, ongoing individual practicing, researching, and listening to performance on the computer and our trio music.
We’ve attached a few pictures of our time; hope you enjoy them.
Sincerely, Joilyn, Julian, and Jameel Martin
