Kaitlyn's friend, Katy, told her about this camp early in May and that she had applied and was waiting to hear back from them. Kaitlyn was very interested and started looking into it right away. In order to apply, she had choose a song that would demonstrate her level of ability, then send in a recording of her playing it.(The instruction offered will be well above amateur levels.) She talked to her piano teacher to pick a song that she should play for the audition and started playing, playing, playing until it was perfect. It was a hard couple of weeks of waiting and more waiting, but she finally got the call from Florida and a few days later received her acceptance letter!! She is so excited and Katy is thrilled to not be going alone!!
Plane tickets have been purchased and the girls are flying to Pensacola, Florida on July 9th. It's a two-week, very intense instructional camp with a Gala concert on Friday night to cap it off. They will return home on the 21st.
This has been a faith-building experience. The Lord orchestrated every minute detail of this becoming a reality! Because of the distance and the expenses involved, we normally would not have even considered this. When it was decided that Kaitlyn would apply, we placed the entire situation in God's hands. As usual, He showed His awesome, creative ability to work it all out -- and we stand amazed and thankful.
