Spring Concert Prep

gosh i really need to keep up with this thing. i keep forgetting that OH YEAH i have a blog i should probably update it...
So the spring concert is Tuesday, March 9th at 6:30pm in the commons of BHS. i'm playing first trombone part in concert band and third part in symphonic. "Fortress" pisses me off because the 2nd and 3rd trombone parts are on the same page, so every note is a divisi. I HATE having to read music where the whole stupid page has two notes theres just so much stuff and i get so confused and end up playing the top part cause its the only part i can see. i'm not used to playing the lower part of divisis so this isn't a problem i've ever had to deal with. oh well. OH and i got a trumpet (yay me) back in November and i can already hit the high G which amazes my trumpeter friend Ryan. i'm taking lessons from my awesome junior friend Lizzie who is absolutely one of the coolest people on the planet. she is first trumpet in Wind Ensemble which is the highest band at the school (Concert, then Symphonic, then Wind Ensemble). she was moved up from concert band into wind ensemble for the second semester of her freshman year (thats MAJORLY impressive. if you arent impressed then you just fail life) so i figure who else at the school? and she only charges $15 an hour and we meet for one hour at her house every wednesday so thats a pretty good deal. i also got an alto sax and a clarinet from my friend Corben who is 19 and moved to New York over winter break. the sax plays great but clarinet smells like old chips and stale crackers. i took it to my private teacher for trombone (Jas, who plays every instrument and gives lessons for all of them) and so he's going to clean it for me and make sure it's in playing condition. soyeahh i'm pretty excited about that. STUPID CONCERT IS A WEEK FROM TODAY EXACTLY, THOUGH. and my mouthpiece, which is a 51-D (AKA 5-G in bach sizes) isnt coming for another week, and i really hope it gets here before the concert. and that i dont have to play $94.65 for it. i got my trumpet for only slightly more than that! and the trumpets unused! and my TROMBONE MOUTHPIECE COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS A TRUMPET. WHAT THE !#%$&*@ !!!!!!!!! oh well, the lady who works at Village Music is SOOO awesome and nice shes a total hippie but shes pretty cool. they didnt have my size mouthpiece in so they had to call the manufacturers and order it in. she remembers my name cause they sell the brand of AMPs named after me (Laney, but my name is LaIney-with an i) but i keep forgetting her name! XD i feel bad about that...
