For the fifth consecutive year, Audrey competed in the Arizona Flute Society Young Artist competition.
Recap:
2004 – Debut Division – Honorable Mention (unshared)
2005 – Debut Division – 3rd Place
2006 – Debut Division – 1st place (tied)
2007 – Junior Division – Participant
In the Debut (4th – 6th Grade) division, Audrey moved up every year, finally tying for first with a girl named Jennifer Chiang when they were both 6th graders. In her first year competing in the Junior (7th – 9th grade) division, Audrey had a miserable performance and fell out of the listings. Jennifer Chiang, meanwhile, took third place.
This year, Audrey’s nemesis, Jennifer Chiang won the Junior division. Audrey is back in the listings at third place. The two that beat her must have had outstanding performances, and I suspect the scoring was very close. Audrey had a very good performance, one of the best runs-through she did with this piece. (As a consolation, Ms Chiang is ineligible next year.)
Unfortunately, despite checking the camera batteries before we left, I could not get it to work at the performance. Alas, I have no recording of this years performance. Now that my recorder arrived, I can hopefully record it here once I buy some microphones.
WOO!! Jennifer!!!
