Nancy08 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I was expecting about 10th in my room, cause I didn't play my best by a long shot, but I got 4th. Hooray! Except they took 3... Â Oh well, there's always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smusic Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Does anyone know the results from the clarinets in Area D? Someone told me the competition was so outrageous that there were a few or more former All- Staters left out, but they did not know the results because clars were the last ones and directors made everybody leave asap. Who got 1st...anyone know top 9? I can only imagine how crazy that was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fata1 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Our school did well at Area competitions. Well, we did well by our standard. We had 12 advance to Area and out of those 12, I know two trumpets and a sax made state. One of our freshman trumpets missed state by one. Our bass trombone recorded himself and sent it on and I'm not sure of his results yet. Our freshman bari-sax made state, I think. Anyway, I go to Southwest High School. It's a 4A.

Nancy08 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Someone told me the competition was so outrageous that there were a few or more former All-Staters left out That's definately true. We have an amazing clar player that didn't make it. Â Usually our district has 10-15 all-state players, but this year we had, count 'em, one.

titancoaster Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Ok I was wondering what other peoples opinions on my thoughts on the audition process. I feel that the music needs to be harder, our region band concert has harder stuff than the etudes, and possibly a short sightreading etude in the room, because there is this girl next to me in the region band who can barely read music, and her director is telling her all the fingerings and singing all the rythms. What we do in region band is basically sight reading plus a little more rehearsal, if they cant sight read, they shouldnt be in the band. Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiloh Phoenix Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I made state. and the tuba music last year was really hard, almost unplayable, even by the best players. I think the difficulty is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy08 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The difficulty is all over the place for the bassoon music. Freshman year the lyrical selection had 7 flats with a 2 1/2 octave 32nd note triplet chromatic run. But then last year the music was relatively easy. The only things hard were the ornaments and the style cause it was baroque (sp?) music. This year it was kinda a happy medium. Â I think the sightreading is a good idea too. Oh, and equal area alignments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiloh Phoenix Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Our area was more balanced this year for tubas, there weren't 8 insane players that were all right next to eachother and 4 people who couldn't play their instrument like last year. there were 16 people that had a definite few first people and everyone else was at least good at tuba. They could all play it and sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 was he the one who had the trumpet solo in your show? no, the first solo was a senior and the second one was a junior. chris, the junior, got 10th at area  this freshman couldn't march very well though. always got yelled at by the director and corrected by the upperclassmen. every step he took, forward or back, he looked like he was about to fall over....  anyway, since he made state, he got promoted from 3rd part to 1st part, with chris  btw, his dad is a band director, his mom is an orchestra director, his brother is also a band director.....haha it runs in the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
