#SōSI17 Day 10 - Day 12 - Been busy the last couple of days gearing out for our Final concert this Sat 7:30 (EST). Last week felt much longer than this week, these last few days have just flown by. Monday our performance was was rained out so we ended up putting on our set at the Princeton Public Library. It was awesome and marching back in the rain was awesome. Tuesday was a day of inspiration and rehearsals. Today was just as awesome. We played in the Princeton Record Exchange, which is like a mini Amoeba Music or Grey Whale. Got to hear about Eric Cha Beach's corner of So! Only 3 more days!!! #lifegoals #summergoals #princetonadventure #cfasummer17 #percussivearts #percussion (at Princeton Record Exchange)

Day one of my SoSI adventure is done. I love this city, but honestly it was really hard wandering around on my own. Sad I didn't get to have my beautiful girls with me. #princetonadventure #summergoals #cfasummer17 #SoSI #brooklyn #summeradventures (at DUMBO, Brooklyn)
