So, I definately need to work tons on the music we have for concert season. I almost forgot how non-social concert season is. To be honest, I guess I have gotten too used to just randomly going around during band and talking to people to just sit down and work. Like I said before, if there is a year to make great strives in any extra activity, it's ( Read more... )

Yep, I am Principal Second! (meaning 3rd chair) Not a shock, really. We're done!!! So congrats to everyone, who placed well or otherwise, especially Evan. haha. As I recall, Mr. Nutting once said (last year): "If you are going to be a principal player next year, Evan, you need to change your attitude!" XD ( Read more... )

So yeah, seeing people audition, even the people I don't know, makes me sooo friggin' nervous about chair placements. And it definately doesn't help that clarinets are last, on Friday, also the day before PSAT/Homecoming (which I am not attending). All the pressure is cumulating... i can't stand it ( Read more... )

So yes, the past week has been so hectic because of band, but minus lack of sleep from doing HW, I wouldn't have changed a thing. Mmmmh, I guess I already updated about MSBOA... anyways. Pep game was shaweet (not the actual game), but cold. Red Robin's was the best! Why have I not gone to previous pep games? Well I guess next year I'll go to more. ( Read more... )

Well, when me and Evan were practicing together a few days ago (yes, we actually got stuff done) we didn't know the real tempos, and were hoping that the Prague 4th movement was slower. Then we hear the recording, and it's SO FRIGGIN' !#+_(U$()%*!! There's no way right now for me to play at that speed with even halfway decent tone on all those high ( Read more... )

New picture. Aren't you excited ( Read more... )

Well anyway, if you care to know I got a level 5 (Elementary Level grade A) on the HSK (Crazy hard Chinese language test). I wasn't tooo far away from a Level 6 (Intermediate level grade C), but oh well. On the test I signed up for, you could go up to level 8, so I fell in the middle. I didn't really expect to get even a 4 so I was happy. Um, well ( Read more... )
