- Random Warmup Exercises
"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
- Albert Camus (also attributed to Maimonidies).http://www.friendship.com.au/quotes/quofri.html
Anyway...
our conductor made us do this weird stamina buildup thing x) We ran across one step of the amphi, then up the next step and ran back. Then we buzzed on our mouthpieces F major. (For all you people who don't know what mouthpieces are... its the metal thing you stick into your instrument to play into. You can buzz distinct notes on the mouthpiece) Then after we finished the scale, we went up the next step and ran across. Then ran back the upper step. And F major again. So I guess after running you buzz (it takes considerably more effort to buzz distinctive, loud notes on the mouthpiece than the instrument) and it builds lung power because you have to hold the long notes... while you're still gasping for breath. Yes.
Anyway.
Oh yeah I dunno if I'm allowed to do this yet... but I'm in Cadenza Committee!
And since I probably won't have contact with all you 213 guys next year...
here's in advance...
COME FOR CADENZA :D I'M PLAYING FOR THIS ONE :D
You can buy flowers too I think. (Not confirmed) *hint hint*
But anyway right I think we may have an assembly slot like last year (not confirmed) so y'all can hear some excerpts... but not so sure.
Anyway. I think we are playing PERSEUS -
a hero's quest in the heavensIT SOUNDS GREAT RIGHT. And there's this WONDERFUL PART. WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL. You know coz Perseus is some handsome hunk who saves the beautiful Princess Andromeda (why does this sound like the books I read?) from being eaten by the Sea Kraken... so obviously the fighting venue (hee sounds weird) is the SEA. AND WE CAN MIMIC THE SOUND!!!!! WOOOO. If you guys go Cadenza and we play Perseus, you will know what we mean :) It's only two bars long, but it's PERFECT. Serious. It's like really nice, and Perseus as a whole is great :) :) :) It's super difficult to play so you guys must come and support me :D
Hehee this is a bit early, we are only supp to start publicizing in Feb. But our concert is the first in the school year! And far from SA dates! So you should take the opportunity to rack up your SSAs!
Haha :) But anyway... just publicizing.
Just as a random note... I read the Greek myth (ok actually I read all the Greek myths I could lay my hands on... name one and I could probably tell you the story or the people involved xD ) and HAHA Andromeda is like chained to the rock without clothes. Hazel
