My brother leaves for New York tonight, for an 11-day job shadowing experience. With the Metropolitan Opera!
He is a fantastic trumpeter, and I am so incredibly proud of him. This is going to do so much for his career. He's going to make awesome contacts, and learn so much. Maybe he'll even impress them so much that they'll ask him to audition for next season! (That might be a bit of a reach, but it's an older sister pride thing!)
I am also super jealous because he is going to have so much fun! I've never really wanted to visit New York (it's way too big for me), but there's so much cool stuff there!
