[ mood | excited ]

My trombone instructor called me yesterday and asked if I could play euphonium for him at a camp at Interlochen next week. I gave away 27 hours of work at McDonalds in order to clear my schedule, and I'm not even sure I'm going. It will really suck if I'm home for a whole week with no hours.

Scheduled my indoor senior pictures. Wow. I'm a senior, when did that happen?

Oberlin visit in a few weeks, hopefully!

I hope I can work some decent hours before I go back to school.

[ mood | i miss new york ]



I just got back from Rochester, New York and I love Eastman. Small campus, 900 students - 500 undergrad, lots of practice rooms, amazing trombone instructor.

[ music | Wagner: Götterdämmerung - "Fliegt heim, ihr Raben!" (Brünnhilde); Vienna/Solti ]

I know who I'm rooming with next fall! My friend Laura, who is a day student from Montana and rented a house near campus with her mom, is living on campus next year. Rumor has it, Interlochen is reopening McWhorter (one of the dorms that is currently not being used) so Laura and I are going to try to live there. I'm excited. I can't wait to (hopefully) leave Thor Johnson.

I'm so glad tomorrow is Thursday.

For the final band concert, we're recycling a couple pieces that the band voted for, as well as playing a few new ones.
Repertoire:

Ticheli: Vesuvius
Holst: The Planets - IV. Jupiter
Bernstein: Candide - Overture
Nelson: Passacalgia (Homage on B-A-C-H)
Maslanka: Give Us This Day
Orff: Carmina Burana - (13 movements from it, anyway)
Along with two other pieces that I don't remember because I don't like them, and my band music is in another dorm right now so I can't go look.

I'm going off campus this weekend... yay, go me =]

Wow. It's been awhile since an actual entry, but I felt like writing, so I'll probably come up with something to say.

Last night was the band concert. Personally, it was the worst concert I have ever played. I got lost in the Concerto for Two Clarinets, which was the second piece we played, so I sort of lost focus after that and had a rough time the rest of the performance. It's scary to think that the pros get fired for missing notes... I was lost for almost an entire page...

Today I took the ACT, which went pretty well. I had difficulty with the Math and Science portions especially, but I believe English and Reading went rather smoothly. I hope I do well.

List of schools I would like to audition for:
Oberlin
Cleveland Institute of Music
MSU
U of M (Ann Arbor)
California Institue of the Arts
Eastman

On a lighter notes, prom is coming up soon and I am very excited. The theme is Lights Out! which, in my opinion, is really lame and just an excuse for couples to make out in the dark. My idea of the Roaring 20s would have been SO much better. Even Old Hollywood would have been pretty cool. Lights out is just lame. Oh well. I'm over it.

The end.

[ music | Rachmaninov: Symphony #2 ]

The end of the first week of a new semester.

Tuesday was absolutely crazy, I only had one free hour, followed by tutorials all night =P

I dropped my second history class, here's what my schedule looks like:

1st: Band
2nd: Band
3rd: free
4th: Short Story
5th: Contemporary America
6th: free/lunch
7th: Algebra II
8th: Spanish
9th: free

It's really nice, I used to have my four academics right in a row, and now I have a free hour in between (except for on lesson days...eek)

And Mr. Wescott did not kill my GPA! Known grades so far (for first semester):
Spanish: A
Renaissance: B+
diplomacy: B

Band concert tonight! It should be great. Yay.

    [ music | Grondahl, of course. ]

    I moved up a chair in band! I finally beat someone, yay! I've been working really hard.

    I'm also sick, and I had juries today =P but I played the Morceau really well, so I was pleased. I think that's the last time I'm playing that piece for a very long time. Next up: first movement of Grondahl!

    Mark Hsieh is coming up sometime this week!

    Molly is moving in with me, I'm glad. We've been trying to get her to move in, but we've had a couple of rough patches in the process of doing so. But it's official, I have a roommate!

    FYSO alumni night on Tuesday, yeahh!!! *snap snap* I'm excited. I ♥ you, Lauren!

    Things are going really well. I just wish I felt a little better, just enough so that it's not uncomfortable to practice. Right now it's hard. Oh well. Yay nailing juries!

    [ music | i'm singing the finale from Brahms 2. ]

    Reauditions are on Friday. The required excerpts for tenor trombone consist of:

  • Brahms 2, if auditioning for orchestra
  • Rossini La Gazza Ladra
  • Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony (#3)

    I'm not auditioning for orchestra, so no Brahms 2 for me (thankfully, an excerpt in the first part has a run that starts on a high D, and that doesn't sound like too much fun) I think I stand a good chance of moving up though, my excerpts are sounding decent. I've been practicing a lot lately. Yay!

    Time to sleep! Master class tomorrow with Kevin Sanders (Interlochen tuba alum, also attended IU!)

    [ music | Prokofiev: Act I Scene 2: Tybalt Recognises Romeo ]

    Thanksgiving Break can't come soon enough =P
    I am both excited and slightly disappointed to be leaving campus. It will be strange trying to get used to how everything used to be. On the contrary, yay hanging out with friends that I have not seen in all too long!

    I have a huge film project on Edgar Allen Poe for my Renaissance class. We were given less than a week to accomplish this task. This includes:
    -We have a composition major composing a piece for the film.
    -We have four instrumentalists who have to learn their part/make a recording.
    -We have several hours of filming to do (approximately the finished film will be about 10 minutes).

    There are several rough patches... we're trying to make a film of The Fall of the House of Usher, which means we have to have a scene of a house collapsing. Of some sort. It's crazy. The final product should be interesting for only having a week's worth of time.

    I don't like our band music very much. I don't care for Percy Grainger.

    That's all.
