All District

Boy, my mouth is killing me. The concery was super amazing though! We played four songs. In order, they were called Precision, Incantation and Shadow Dance, Crazy for Cartoons, and Jungle Dance. My favorite two were Crazy for Cartoons and Jungle Dance. I loved our director, he was histerical! I'm just a bit confused about who I'm supposed to me. A Euohonium specialist told me that euphonium actually means beautiful sounds or something like that. The director told me that I need to think of myself as a brick, and my instrument is good for nothing but starting wars. So..... who exactly am I???

Results

There were a TON of people auditioning for All District Band yesterday. I got there early, too! I dressed up all jazzy and musicy for the occasion, as you can see in the above picture ^.^ I'm happy and proud to be musical! I met some really nice baritones while I was in line to audition. I got quite aggravated in the warm up room however, because when I would play a scale or do a few techniques to help me, other baritones would watch and copy me. Anyway, the audition was great! I did amazing on my scales, messed up a few times on my prepared, and sightreading was...... well...... that's another story. I got the results last night, and you won't beleive what I got. I got exactly the same thing as last year, 1st chair concert band! I personally think I did better than last year because there were more baritones, but that's just me. Anyway, I'M SO HAPPY!

Perfect Week

This week might have been mabe just a little tiny bit less than perfect, but it was still freaking awesome. Everybody was really cool this week, everything always worked out in some way, and I was just in a golden mood all week. My friends are really great, they're all so special! There wasn't ever too much homework, so I had plenty of time to just chill. I also got alot of time to practice for All District tryouts tomorrow. Hopefully my tryout will make my week completely perfect and nothing less! Good luck to all of my friends at Spotsy trying out! Wouldn't it be great if we took the majority of the chairs in the bands? AMAZINGNESS! I would die, if that happened, lol. At the moment my scales are perfect, chromatic is good but caan be sloppy in a few places, and I need to fix up a few slurs on my prepared. By the way, if you leave auditions tomorrow thinking you totally suck, you don't! First of all, you had the guts to tryout, so that is super great. Second, there's still hope! When I tried out for All County, I came home more upset than ever! But wait a second- What chair did I make? 1st. You guys can do it, I know it. If you don't make it, that's okay too! I know for a fact that you are all amazing players. You probably just had a bad audition! It's fine. Sooooo, like, what up with you? :]

SAYY WHAAAAAAA?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?

OK OK OK. I'm gonna take a deep breath here. Whooooooo. So. You're saying. THAT I'M FIRST CHAIR BARIOTNE IN THE ALL COUNTY BAND?!?!?!?!?!? NO FREAKING WAY. Check this out- On my prepared piece on the first slur, I sounded like "bllluuuuuuuurplurpblurp" right? I got a SUPERIOR on that. :O!!!!!! And you know how I have trouble with my chromatic? Well guess what. S U P E R I O R!!! Congrats to everyone that made the All-County Band! Also, good job to everyone that even tried out! Just because you didn't make it, don't put yourself down. You might have been good, but had a bad audition! NOOOOO big deal. Try for District anyways, it might turn out better :]
