Below is the video we sent to our agent in April for our audition. It is a little rough compared to how we are playing together now, but it gives an idea of what we can do. I have also finally added all the photos I have taken so far to my flickr site.

June 11, 2008
Juneau, Alaska. I had an omelet with reindeer sausage for breakfast.
As of today, I have officially been on the ship for 1 month.
I had a life raft drill this morning. This is my 2nd official drill, but I missed my first one (I didn't know about it until after it happened). I was anxious to make it to the drill because after missing my first one, I had to go to the Chief Officer and tell him why I missed it. I was told to tell him that it was my first ship and my first contract and that I missed it because I forgot to look at the schedule. All true except for the tiny fact that nobody told me to look at the schedule in the first place. He wrote "no excuse" on his paper and told me to go to a make up drill the following week.
On a happier note for me, I have now seen many of the animals that I wanted to see. Just over a week ago, I saw humpback (I think) whales jumping out of the water. There were probably 6 or more whales and they were having fun jumping out of the water over and over again. The ship was moving, so it only lasted for a few minutes and I was unable to run down to get my camera.
On Saturday, I was walking on the deck with Alison from my quartet and I had my camera with me, when we spotted several porpoises. They were chasing the ship and jumping out of the water over the waves made by the ship. I tried to snap a few pictures (even with the continuous shooting feature on my camera), but they were so fast that I am only able to see faint outlines in the water and the splashes they made.
I also took a trip to the Alaska SeaLife Center. I was able to see some sea lions, some puffins, and some other birds and fish.
I am trying to send the pictures to my flickr page now. I have been having trouble with the ship's internet connection, so I found the public library in Juneau and I am using the free internet connection here to catch up on some things.
All for now,
