Did you get my PM?

 

 

Yeah, I got it. I PM'd back.

[borchnork]

I got a 1.

 

I didn't memorize, so no state for me.

[GARRETTxFLOWERS]

I got a one on my solo [grade one but not memorized (Hummel trumpet concerto)] and a one on my brass quintet [grade one (Die Bankelsangelieder, don't know spelling)] so my ensemble gets to go to state! :]]]]

Now if you saxophonist out there really want a hard solo, try out Introduction, Dance, and Furioso by Herbert Couf, wow thats an amazing solo to play

 

I'm doing that one next year...

lol, close enough on the spelling .

 

That's a fun one. I played that for a church gig once; played the Trombone part. Most Bach (...I think it's Bach) brass quintets sound better with a Euphonium instead of a Trombone imo, it gives the ensemble a more somber, softer edge. There's one part where the Trombone gets to rock out with the French Horn that I could just play over and over again, especially when the Horn player you're playing with is a bad@ss, hehe (she's currently Assistant Principal Horn in the Texas State Wind Ensemble).

Going to state on my alto solo

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

got a "I" on my Mozart solo, prepared the night before contest, so I only had 60% of it memorized, didn't try for state s&e, and after All-State, and with graduation the week of TSSEC, I don't really feel bad about not stressing about it.

 

my clarinet quartet got together the day of contest, sight read it that day, and got a "I" (we hosted the whoel contest, so we played friday night)

 

good luck to you guys at state, go get Outstanding Musician for me.

lmao, on youtube there are like 6 videos of our percussion section's jam sessions last year, and i guess someone saw them, and wrote on ensemble based on them i guess.

 

and then put it on youtube. the ensemble is called "Langham Creek"
