in December 9th, 2005 @ 16:50Okay. So there’s a Kitkat, a Kricket, and a KittyKat. Are they all same person/two different people/three different people?
Ack. Region orchestra tomorrow. And it’s freezing outside. So I’m going to bring my violin on the bus for the trip instead of putting it under (charter bus, yay, although I don’t know whom I’m sitting with)…. I hope the orchestra will be good; our orchestra teacher did work on the stuff a bit so it should be okay (basically, when my school knows the music it’s good; when it doesn’t, it’s fairly bad; the orchestra is mostly kids from my school- the cello section has one kid from a different school and the rest are from mine)..

in December 10th, 2005 @ 09:15Just a touch. But it is totally justifiable. It’s really an awesome movie, and I don’t say that lightly. You should all go to it. It’s great, from the first scene where there is a raid on London right beofer all the kids leave, to the last where Prof. Kirk tells Lucy she won’t get in by the wardrobe again, but she will get in. It’s totally awesome.

in December 10th, 2005 @ 16:34Relax. Breathe. Don’t panic. Keep breathing. In, out, in, out, in, out. There you go.
I give up on the Kit/K names. I’ll just mash them, since they’re all supposedly BFFs (Zarquon knows what that stands for) and totally indistinguishable from each other. (“I’m an intelligent chap from a fairly advanced civilisation…” and I haven’t the faintest as to what they’re doing!) Here are some more obvious possibilities:
a) They are an army of K clones out to take over the MB
b) Their names are coincidental
c) They are bots employed by parents/adults/Neo-Nazis whose job is to spy on us
Your guess is as good as mine, mate. I don’t sass them.

But the truth, now. Who missed me?O, and if you have BAND and ORCHESTRA specifically in the title, why not put in CHORUS?????? I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE chorus!!!!!

in December 12th, 2005 @ 20:06ooh we play pretty fly and the hey song too!
i like tear it up best for pep/marching band songs. it’s actually called shout it out. it’s from the movie drumline.
I have no clue what we wear. (yes, it’s sad) in my old band we just wore black pants+white shirt.
saxes do rock boxty. i almost played the sax. But upon the moment of decision i had a revelation and discovered that trumpets are the coolest instrument. ok i’m being overly dramatic. it wasn’t exactly the “moment of decision” or a “revelation”.
I haven’t had chair tryouts yet…i won’t get anywhere near top with all the seniors and all but i think i can get second part. maaaaybe first if i do major practicing.
who’s in jazz band??? jazz band ROCKS!!! boxty? lilbro777? come on people…i know there’s somebody out there in a jazz band..yes? no? maybe?

Ebeth The Lurker
in December 12th, 2005 @ 21:49no challenges come after chair tryouts. I mean we haven’t even tried out to see what chair we are yet. insanity…
unless you call the tryouts challenges too…
ok for me the tryouts are at the beginning of the year and we play scales and maybe a couple songs-whatever the director picks. Then he puts us into chairs, and then we can challenge to move up.
mascot song…well we have two fight songs…wisconson and one that somebody wrote…but our “mascot song” would probably be hang on sloopy. actually it’s ohio’s state rock song or something like that. odd.

in December 13th, 2005 @ 09:44we do, we have four challenges, or ‘tryouts’ and then before those we just go alphabetically by grade….. and between them, you can move down by talking, reading in class (though why would anyone do that?) and (this is a new one) throwing pencils (in the case of the 8th graders mostly…) anyway, everyone has to do challenges, and we usually play a bunch of scales & the hardest part out of the hardest song we are currently working on…. we just had a challenge, and we played out of Urkrainian Bell Carol, and E flat, B flat, F scales one after the other. two more challenges…….

Whatever She's Calling Herself Today
in December 14th, 2005 @ 17:43I have fencing matches with my oboeist friend with her oboe and my flute. Fuuuuuuun.
Assuming the piano thing is an acrostic, then:
Playing piano looks very hard and not like something an uncoordinated person like
I am could do.
All sorts of music is written for the piano and then transcribed and given over to angry flautists which is
Not nice.
Oh, I can’t thingk of anything good to write about the piano starting with O

in December 14th, 2005 @ 19:26I’m third chair, first violins; we have seating auditions but it doesn’t matter how you play in them, the director just seats you wherever you want. in other words, if he likes you and you’re reasonably good, you get a good chair. Seniority also counts.
For concerts we have orchestra uniforms they give out at the beginning of the year; long black dresses for girls, tuxes for boys.

in December 20th, 2005 @ 22:09CELLO CELLO CELLO!!!
Our school is too poor to pay for uniforms, so the band/orchestra directors just make us wear black/black (orchestra) or white/black (band). The directors really need to talk to each other about this so people who are in both like me don’t have to put on a SWEATER under the hot stage lights.
BASSOON BASSOON BASSOON!!!
Double reed instruments are much-maligned. Every band needs at least one member who sounds like a sick duck.BASS BASS BASS!!!
I also play bass guitar. Only I don’t have an amp, which makes life difficult.Our orchestra is pathetic. It is composed of three people who can actually play, five people who could play if they practiced once in a while, six people who are just in it for the class they can skip and should quit immediately, and about ten people who only show up at concerts and expect to be allowed to play.
When I get to high school, I will not have to deal with this. I was looking forward to high school for the following reasons:
1)Better orchestra, with trips and stuff.
2)Fencing team.
3)Possibility of other manga/Muse/LOTR/fanfic/etc geeks.
4)Not being expected to help little kids at every turn. (I go to a K-8 school.)
5)Honors classes, where I don’t have to move at the pace of all the dumb people in my class.
6)Better loaner bassoon.
7)Foreign languages other than Spanish available. (No Chinese, grr.)Unfortunately, I have just learned that my high school doesn’t have a fencing team. Grr.
I used to play the flute, but I was so bad that I switched to bassoon. (And it’s in bass clef. I like bass clef because my first instrument was cello.) However, I did get to play an AWESOME part when we did the LOTR theme music. I got a solo (with the two other flutes) in the Rohan theme, which is some of the bast music in the film. I’m trying to convince our new band director to let us play it again. That was a good piece.
Whoa. Long rant.

SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM
SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM SHAWM SHAWMShawms rock. If your school doesn’t have a shawm band, tell them they need one NOW. Playing funky stuff by Moritz, Landgraf of Hessen on anything else just isn’t music. And some lucky person gets to play curtal. Which is what the bassoon was before they emasculated it.
I’m buying myself a curtal for Christmas. Yay! Alas, it won’t arrive till mid-Jan. But the curtal maker did send me a Christmas card, which was nice.

in December 23rd, 2005 @ 12:25Two problems with that:
1. I doubt any of the music teachers know what a shawm is.
2. I’m in orchestra and I don’t know the band teachers, and I doubt anyone would want to do anything with the orchestra teacher that they didn’t have to…By the way, Paul, what’s the hardest part about playing the bagpipes?

in December 23rd, 2005 @ 14:27If they’re Highland pipes, the hardest part is developing strong enough lungs to play the expletive things. Try inflating truck tyres with your mouth. It’s good practice.
If they’re not the aforesaid, the hardest part is convincing other people that :
1) They’re not Scottish
2) They’re not raucous and unpleasantly loud
3) Multiple sets can be played in harmony, and it sounds cool.Most people have such blinkered preconceptions, they don’t believe it even when they hear it.

in December 24th, 2005 @ 17:43GO SCOTT!! TRUMPETS ROCK!!!! WE WILL RULE THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
come on seriously, you can’t beat a trumpet. yes yes.
erm…i agree with lizzie. shawms and my band director…*whoosh* out the window. i mean he’s cool and all but i think shawms would be just a bit much for him…
*gasp* you mean bagpipes aren’t always played by guys in kilts??? oh yes. happy days. kilts frighten me. a lot. actually skirts frighten me too but kilts are twice as scary.
truuuuumpet. hey is anybody else in jazz band??? anybody?? am i alone of the musers? come on come on come on….
rrf??? you did lotr??? arrrrrgh!!!!!! we do sleigh ride. and overture to titus. third part for both. *shudder* can’t wait until chair tryouts…they’ll probably be a week after break or something…
haha it was funny though cuz we really suck at sleigh ride, so hirsch and lamar, the two seniors, came over to play third part w/us lowly freshmen. they played like three measures, got lost, and went back to first. we were like yesss taste our misery!!!! seriously it’s a bunch of random low notes that don’t go with the tune at all, or anybody else’s part, and we rest through half of it. Basically they had what they needed but they needed to give the thirds something to do (besides their occaisional Note of Fame) so they made that. die evil whoever did that arrangement. too late they’re probably dead already. oh well. this is way too long of a rant so i’ll be leaving now. maybe slipping the GAPAs some virtual christmas presents on the way out… *nudge nudge wink wink coughbribecough*

in January 10th, 2006 @ 16:50Hey who’s doing solo+ensemble? oh yeah that’s me!!! I’m doing a solo. some irish thingamajig. Ohio has a list of songs u have to pick off of. I did not know that. in MI you just picked something. Well obviously you couldn’t do like Star Wars or something but anything classicalish with a piano accompaniement.
Anyway it’s a pretty cool song. Oh yes and i have jazzy jazzy band band tonight and then concert tomorrow. The concert’s gonna suck (whole band, not jazz band) but oh vell. At least Dream catcher and rent are ok even if nobody can play sleigh ride except the saxes and first trumpets and absolutely nobody can play titus at all.
yup yup ok later peoples.

in January 11th, 2006 @ 21:00Concert done. yippee. Rent was ok. Everything else was maybe halfway decent, with the exception of sleigh ride. that one sucked. Titus was actually halfway decent. I was amazed…
jazz band rocked. They loved us. of course. You have to love the jazz band.
symphonia was pretty cool. i’m not in that (it’s only upperclassmen) but i listened to it between concert+jazz bands. They’re really good. Except their director does little annoying dances all over the little platform thingy. But the music was great.
So tomorrow we get to do absolutely nothing but sit around and watch ourselves mess up at important moments…
Oh yes and i’m wearing the totally awesome Collar of Doom. It’s just a regular white shirt and then it’s got this HUGE collar that folds way back down. It rocks. Yeah you know you all love the Collar of Doom. Don’t try to deny it.

As Hobbes said to Calvin, “Bambi eyes won’t get you a flamethrower.”
You can, however, go to the Books + Movies + Music thread and talk about rock bands as much as you like.

Terribly sorry about the insulin shock. Hope it doesn’t screw anything up between you and fellow Musers who beg and plead on thier hands and knees and bribe and say “pwease” too much…HEHE…
Queen Julietaini; Queenie; WDNT: GOTTA LOVE QUEEN!! And “Killer Queen” is like one of my favourite songs by them….Apart from “Bohemain Rhapsody”, “Your My Best Friend”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”….OK, there are too many Queen greats. Let’s assume I love them all, shall we??

in April 7th, 2006 @ 15:44Nvm 10 min-we actually left half an hour early. Schneids left during the clinics cuz he had to direct the middle skool band (no sub) so then all the upperclassmen left, then the sevvies, and then david and i were like “erm…ooook” so we left.
‘Twas flamablamablously froody…when we started it was raining hard, not so good. We played at 9:20, and did a pretty good job too if i do say so myself.
Then we watched the clinicians play (or guest artists, or professionals or whatever u want to call those peoples that are way better than us and teach us menny things). Then we had lunch, regular stuffins. Hot dogs and all that. Tortured aaron the sevvie (SO annoying!!!! Grr! That kid! Arr! That about sums it up for aaron…) Then had clinics, and went home. Fun times…David and i also made evil plots to make people join jazz band, cuz we’re the only two freshies in it. Plus there are no sophomores in it either. So yeah, we’re now the recruiting party.
lol. Fun day, fun day. Now i’m gonna go gloat at everybody for missing skool.
