themainclarinet

IT will be interesting if anything gets changed in UIL. A few great bands suffered some poor scoring.

Not to mention if the reed is bad.....YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is one clarinet at my school that can play just about anything Cookie_monster, I think we can agree on who this person is....ahem

i think I speak for every girl out there (and some guys): The Notebook! Great Movie! *mean Girls *Harry Potter *Lord of the Rings *The Skeleton Key *Heartbreakers *The Lion King The list goes on, but I can't think of anything right now

Cedar park...(Leander ISD I should say) didn't have the day off, but not too long ago we had three days off for staff developement day. w00t!

Well lets look at it this way....we are juniors this year....LAST YEAR OF TAKS!!!! THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might I add that Music for Prague is really cool too! But hard as heck!

Lets see Lincoshire was okay.... Profanation rocked! has to be one of my fav. And I played Postcard freshman year which made prof. easy Right now we are playing J'ai ete au bal Aegean Easter Monday on the White House Lawn...which is one of my favorite marches I have played in High school and Commando March was pretty fun.

OMGOSH!!!!^^^Cavies '04!! 007! I blast that in the car ALL the time!

Sleigh Ride!! We are playing it for the winter concert! Ihave been singing it since first period and it's 3rd right now (we have block days-4 classes one day and then the other 4 the next day) SO it been a long time since 1st period!

HAHAHHAHAHA *rolls around on floor laughing* So they make this huge deal that the place will be packed when you perform and how like half the state looks forward to this, well let me telll you that only like 2 other schools might watch you! Everyone wants to see the national concert band/orchestra. And the gala award ceremony...ehem...not that great of a deal. But the dance in the Museum is fun!

I didn't know that Richland made it untill a few hours ago! Which I loved their show when I saw them at Super Regionals! Congrats to everyone!!!

OMG congrats to Reagan and Bell for another GREAT year! I cannot wait untill next year to see what is put out there!!!!!

YAY GO CLARINETS!!!!!!!!!!!!! even though I am a true sax. player at heart!

Today I had orchestra and I didn't too good. I got 29 out of 60something. I better do better at region auditions...did anyone else go to orchestra.

When is your audition?? My region orchestra audition is tomorrow morning! EEK

So Region auditions are coming soon (Region 18 on Nov. 29 is the first round I think) how do you guys think you will do this year? My goal is to go to Area...going further is always better and also what do you guys this about the music? Esp. Clarinets? Crazy stuff

Hmm I don't remember seeing ajudge get cought in one of mmy shows, but I recall this year in Reagan's show one was like trying to find a way out of the form and the rest of the show he just walked around the edges. I love watching judges from drum corps!!! That is funny! I also like hearing judge's comments. Like last year durring the planets, 1st clarinets had this little thing going on and I remember the judge being like "veryy good clarinets....bla bla bla" It was a really good feeling:)

Nick of course I agree with you! It's because I love you!!! Watch out

Hmm I think I might go shopping tomorrow...but I have region orchestra on saturday, so I can't have too much fun this friday night *sigh* I guess I am gonna like have to throw a party or something!

You guys should really give the Rue Lupics a try...they are by Vandoren and they rock! But they can be kinda soft so I usually get a box of 4 and 5 so I can pick my way through.

PLASTIC REEDS ROCK! esp. for marching season, Clarinot got one and it plays great! THey are about 20 dollars but a pretty good investment!

Yeah I started off on sax in 6th grade and I have to say it is a WHOLE lot easier for jazz than clarinet. You can go further with a sax. So then I dropped sax in the7th grade for clarinet and now picked up sax again even though I mainly focus on clarinet.

Vandoren has good new reeds that they came out with last year are the Rue Lupics (sp?) find a good place to get them at though bc they can be really expensive (40 dollars a box) And get a size higher than usual bc sometimes can be really soft. They are great! and I have like 3 boxes and most of the reeds are good. I am currently testing different types of reeds and will let you guys know what I have found! Rico= people have different opinions. Most of the reeds are bad, but I have found some decent rico reeds for my sax! So my pennies worth is: try out a few...just because people say the brand is bad...there is sometimes a good reed! Just test it out for yourself!!!

Hmm *thinks about possible drum major salute mixed with old cheerleading stuff* Some of those podiums are big enough for a back hand-spring...what do you think

I agree with nick...But I thought it was 120 pages of drill...w/e practicing 8 hours a week and during class.....at 184....then run it back, 184, then run it back, now put music with it. *tries to get a breath* Gotta love band!
