The Raemonia and Lyra Quartets gathered at Enterprise rent a car yesterday and then departed for Minnesota. It was a long drive but filled with laughter, socializing, and rest before the big day.
The vans pulled up to the rehearsal space at precisely 6pm when both quartets were given rooms to practice for two hours.
After some intense work the students went to the hotel and enjoyed pizza and a trip to a nearby Boba Tea place for dessert.
After eating breakfast the Lyra Quartet departed for the competition venue for their 9:15am warmup call. Raemonia will leave at 9:30am to join them.
The first part of the competition today will be the Haydn round. Lyra performs at 11:15am and Raemonia 11:45am. Please join watch on the livestream if you can!
