Yeah, so the girls were amazing. They were ages 12-16 or so, and great gamelan players. We all looked at each other with dropped jaws and hung our heads in shame as we realized how bad we actually are. Too funny.

I don't know if I've mentioned the hilarious faces the Cudamani guys make when we hit a wrong note, its so priceless. I wish I had videotape of it.

We danced more today, I was able to impress my fellow music students cause no one else had taken dance classes since they were 4, so they were glad I knew what questions to ask the teacher. The teacher was so great, he kept saying "good progress" in a really encouraging voice, never said good job. I'm going to remember that next time I'm teaching, it was hilarious. I really enjoyed the dance class, I want to study it more.

I had an epiphone today and finally figured out why I kept going early on the transitions in our second piece, so that was a pretty nice breakthrough. We practiced drums this morning and reyong, it was a lot of fun. After our rehearsal we watched another Cudamani rehearsal, amazing!
