A New Start

It has been a VERY long time since I've posted a blog. Ever just remember random things at random points? Well, that's what happened as far as this blog goes! I was busy fighting an evil monkey robot that wanted to steal all of the bananas from the world! Someone had to stop him, so I gave up writing in order to do so!

Look at him! Surely he doesn't need ALL the bananas! 

  I am hoping to begin writing on a regular basis (ha!) and keep my faithful readers informed and entertained throughout the (insert amount of time here).

Another year at Wright State has begun! I am now a Sophomore and am actually forced to put effort into my daily routine! I have classes at 8 A.M every day and arrive at school by 7 in order to practice. It gets very tiring and I find my self drinking coffee(and I don't like it). But, at least I don't have trouble falling asleep at night!

I guess the practicing I did over the summer really helped out for auditions. I made Wind Symphony again this year! The auditions were very very competitive! I'm sure I only made it by a silver! The results were really shocking! On the subject of Wind Symphony, the rep chosen for this quarter is strange. Two of the peaces are basically the same thing, they contain the same melody throughout the majority of them except for one takes place in a cave and echoes all teh time! We are also playing a piece that lasts around 22 minutes. This is a Steven Bryant piece named Ecstatic Waters. This piece uses various electronics throughout, almost as if it were dubstep!

All of these pieces are also pretty demanding in a lot of sections. For the woodwinds, there is nonstop playing. For the trumpets, everything is either high, loud, or both! After a rehearsal, you feel as if you just got punched in the face by Apollo Creed and then headbutted by Zinedine Zidane. It could still be us getting used to it, so we'll see what happens!

Yo Adrian! I just got out of Wind Symphony!

So far, there aren't many complaints about this year. Hopefully it'll continue to be great!
