My book is here and I am so excited to practice! The required selections are extremely advanced, but I think I will get through. In one of them, there are SIX sharps in the key signature! Ya, crazy! No news from the professional tenor teacher, but Weber is teaching me a lot now that I am playing super advanced material. Our first marching band performance is tomorrow is the rain stops in time. We will only be doing opener though. Next week: ballad!!!
Show choir band try-outs are next Friday, and I don't even have to try out! Mrs. Lampkin has already assigned me to the part. I really love show choir band!
Mr. Weber has allowed me to stand on the sidelines for one practice next week and watch how my section is doing. You know, the carriage of the instruments, when to bring them up to playing position and if shoulders are parallel to the sidelines. Another big thing is if their feet are in time. I really don't want to lead this section, but I have to. I am the only person capable of playing both the tenor and the alto.
Take advantage of your mistakes, and improve for the better!
