I’m sick today, I stayed home from school yeterday and today too, I’m planning on being at school tommarow though. I think I have the flu. However, that’s not my post.
Remember last year, when I had solo and ensamble? You might not, because the only people who would know are people who know me personally or people who have been reading my blog since it was started, but then again, those are the only people who read this. Anyways, I’m doing a solo and a quartet with Taylor, Will, and Tyler. Last year I (or we) got a one (an A) for our rating. This year’s music is much harder though. I know we can do it, but I’ll (or we’ll) have to work hard, especially since we have to practice our auditions for high school band. The music is hard, and we hae to play a chromatic scale from memory the whole range of our instrument. That’s pretty high. I can play it now, as long as I’m warmed up and there’s not a big jump to it. when I’m nervous, I don’t know if I’ll be able to. I know we don’t have to play tha high, if we can’t, but I’d be mad at myself if I didn’t even try and end up being in concert band, and not in jazz band. That’s what I’m really looking forward to, is jazz band, ever since I heard them play “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder. We might be able to play it when I’m a senior, because then no one will have played it twice, but I doubt it. I’ll just have to ask. It doesn’t matter that much though, because a lot of the songs that they play are cool or pretty. I hope our group will be able to be as good, because the seniors graduating this year include some very talented musicians. I think we’ll be fine.
