So if anyone wants to hear the wind ensemble here at Tech, there's a recording here.  We basically recorded rehearsal (only 3 weeks into classes might I add!!!), and since the principal player was gone, the solo flute you're hearing was me!  ;)  Have fun!

At least now I can obsess on things a little more helpful. I figure I definitely didn't make the orchestra, but maybe ( Read more... )

Ok....so I took the music history exam yesterday. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I still don't know if I passed it or not tho. Then there was the theory exam today.....4 frickin hours.......20-so pages......there were things I had never heard of on that exam. Anyway, basically I now sit and wait to see if any of it was ok or not ( Read more... )

Hey guys! So here's the deal. I'm doing ok, currently using the free wifi from the local MacDonald's (the only free one in town), but the signal is so stron I'm sitting at the Starbuck across the street. Yay to wifi.
