why? because i have a real job! mr. kimmel took a print ad that i made and a demo of my arrangement of 'speed of sound' to show choir camps of america last week. since then, i have already had two schools contact me with interest in hiring me to do arrangements for their choirs! some of you may be familiar--one is lewis central high school in iowa, and the other--surprise, surprise!-- (haha) tatum mahlen! she's in minnesota now and wants an arrangement for her girls' choir she directs. here's what she wrote: "Hey Miss Megan! So, just spent a week at SCA with Jim Kimmel and know he spoke SO highly of you and gave out your info to everyone and also gave me a copy of one of your pieces. One, duh you are amazing and two, your piece was fantastic! So, anyway, we need to talk later about you arranging something for my women's group for their spring concert next May. So, how is the cruising going and what are your plans once you are done with that? Anyway, I was so proud to say I knew you when :) and seconded all that Jim said to the teachers. You ROCK!!!" yay! so that means i am a real, bona fide arranger! this is CRAAZZZZZY! thought i'd let you all know. :o) in other news, bermuda is still amazing-looking. i hope to do some exploring this week. in two weeks we have a show in the city at their street fair! i will be doing a little tina turner and aretha franklin! it should be a big time. it'll be two days before my birthday!! yay!!!!!!!! hope you all are lovely! ps: note that there's a change in my address. you have to include my department name (entertainment) next to my name. otherwise it takes them forever to figure out whose it is. so far it hasn't been a problem, but they'd prefer the distinction. yay!

Congrats on your future arranging gigs. That's like totally using your college degree. Niiice.

Really nice.
Are you waiting for Hurricane Bertha to arrive in Burma? Will you go out to observe her?

Keep on having a great job. We're praying for you.
Love you!

Great job on the choir arranging gigs! Now if you can just get hooked up with a good publisher.:) That is so awesome, Megan! I look forward to seeing your name in the 'bright lights'!
