Well, me and the Jazz Band were invited to the Reno Jazz Festival in....well, Reno. We left last night and we arrived in Reno, Nevada (My old hometown).
We performed the following tunes:
Randi: It's a slow yet good song. Nothing special here really.
Some Skunk Funk: One of my three solos. The large crowd was on their feet for me.
Lj's Style: My second solo to honor of Ljlrj. This was just crazy sick. The crowd was on their feet when I started playing my solo.
Sonic the Jazz Hedgehog: Yes, we do have a video game song. It's all the music in the first four Sonic the Hedgehog games ( 1, 2, 3, and Sonic and Knuckles). This is where I have my huge solo (10 minutes long) and featres Casino Night Zone and Carnival Night Zone. After I ended my solo, just an explosion of ENCORE!!!! So, we did it.
The Incredibles: We only play this if we get an Encore. I have a Duet Solo with one of my Saophone buddies.
After it was ll over, we got awards:
1st Place in AA Division (There are only 16 members)
1st Place Overall (We beat some of the best there is)
I won 4 Solo Awards
I won Best Soloist in AA Division
And, I won Best Soloist Overall.
We also got Best Music Arrangement for Soic the Jazz Hedgehog (Me and my teachr spent eeks on making this piece) and Best Music Overall.
So, I had a great day. Now we wait until tonight and then we are out of here! :)
