thanks! it's actually for this thing in new york called nyssma, where we just play a solo piece and get graded for it! based on the grade, we could make it into an exclusive band the next year, or even all state:)
Haha yeah, he's really the best. He ended up being my accompanist all the way through college, and even helped me through a music part-time job during undergrad. He also had a short stint drawing music comics: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Distance-Learning-High-Notes-A-Music-Comic-for-Note-Reading-by-Dow-Yeh-Opus-1-5549415
Thanks. Well, if a -short- break means four days, then I've got that covered. I got a little bit lazy and tired of playing the song over and over again. I'll see what I can get done, today's the last say of my Christmas break and then the audition is this Saturday. Thanks for your help. I just wish I knew what part of the solo I would have to play :/ AND DUDE YOU WENT TO HAWAII THAT'S SO COOL! All I have in New Jersey is cold snow :P But seriously, Thanks for all the help.
amazing. im doing this piece for my solo ensemble in less than 5 weeks.... still dont have the music yet and im slightly ( sarcasm) stressed. you did really well. :)
I'm really freaking out right now about it. I have all of this week to practice on my own because I'm off for Christmas break. The audition is Jan 5th. It's just so hard though; normally I'm good at teaching myself things like this, but I only have so much patience with myself before I get frustrated. Do you have any tips? I'm freaking out so much, I wish I could talk to my band teacher lol
Yamaha Custom Z, black lacquered - YTS-82ZII. Damn, inflation has really done a number on it. It tends to be punchier and more clear than most saxes - I found that to be fantastic for solo performances or jazz ensembles, but a bit less ideal in woodwind ensembles.
Yup, Texas is definitely a lot more competitive than Oregon. Definitely should've spent more time on developing my tone. Good thing I got my degree in chemistry instead, I guess.

@@Dmmy. 10 yrs late

Did you order the music yourself?
If so where did you order the music from? I personally use JW pepper for music

Also what fingering did you use to trill from C# to D?
Laurie Pavero probably the side key
I also have to memorize some scales too. O_O Ugh...
heh... out of pure curiosity what kind of horn do you have...

So you got a medal at state? In Texas you probably wouldn't have made it past the first round. It's just the tone quality is a little edgey
