| Current mood: Happy-ish Music: "Funeral March of a Marionette" |
|
| That was lots of fun. Just got home from the Atlantic band mini-field trip to get solo and ensemble music. I walked over to the clarinet section, said hi to my posse, and then ran away, unnoticed, over to the percussion section. Okay, so they saw me go.. But I am not going to play a clarinet solo, Adam! I looked mainly through the grade threes. I picked out three that were options. One was a Mozart, one was Bach, and the other was "Funeral March of a Marionette". After looking through them a bit more closely, I put back the Bach, because it had too many rolls. I hate rolling. Grr. So it was between the Mozart one and the green one. I took a vote, and the green one won, because it was prettier. Then I went and hung out a little more with the clarinets. Seeing what all they were getting. I was just kind of chilling out doing nothing while Leah was saving our spot in line and she goes "Lauren! Lauren! Come here!" So I walked over and she's like look who came! Mr. Markgraf was there! Yay! Then I had to hide the marimba solo. He came over to talk to us and ask us what we were getting. He asked Leah and she explained her whole book of duets for her and Kristen that are apparently easy grade 5's because they have only two mallets. Right. Then markgraf was like so, skillet, what are you getting? I turned around the paper..."A marimba solo.." "Oh. ...what? Really?! Lemme see!" Hehe, it was a good double take. He opened up the booklet thingy, took one look at it, and said "This is a really good one for you. Not a lot of rolls." LMAO! I had just been talking about that to leah like 2 seconds before. Crazy. But I hate rolling. With a passion. So my solo got the "markgraf stamp of approval" and I feel better about which one I picked. The green one. I still have not decided if I'm going to actually do anything for solo and ensemble. Well, I mean besides clarinet choir. I wasn't even going to go today, but Leah bugged me about it. So I asked Mr. Lerner this morning if we went and bought music when we would have to decide whether we were actually going to do s&e, and he said we didn't have to sign up until right before Christmas Break. So I figured I'd get something to work on, and if I feel it's good enough to perform by december, or that it will be good enough to perform at some point ever, then I'll do it as a solo. It just gives me something to do that's still on percussion, but not like in the class or anything. Dont worry guys, I'm still doing clarinet. It just is a change. Gives me something to do during lunches I guess. It's a grade 3, so I may be able to do something with it by the time solo and ensemble rolls around. Who knows.. |
