I've started really working on my Humorous Interpretation (which I will call an "HI" from now on...). I finished cutting it...which was a challenge, because it was originally about 35 minutes to read. It needs to be 10.
I've started creating characters and voices for them...but I'm not very good at being a girl. I need to watch some more movies or something. >_>
Audition sign-ups for the play are up, too. So I signed up...our audition is just 45 seconds of monologue...and it's supposed to be clever. I'm using a talking head from The Office (UK). I've never seen the UK version, but there was one quote that just made me crack up at the irony. :lol:
This year for Jazz Ensemble, we have to take tests. We never had to in the past. I mean, I wasn't in Jazz Ensemble in the past, but others say it had never happened. Basically, we play an exerpt from each song, and we're graded. Well, some are graded. The others are just screwed. I'm one of the latter.
I had to play a part (on the bari sax...the low one) which is all of its highest notes in quick succession. There are several problems with this:
- High notes should not be played on a bari. It's called "bari" for a reason, and that reason is because it's supposed to belt out kick ass low notes.
- High notes, in general, are tricky. Especially when switching between the high notesand not-so-high notes at 160 beats per minute.
- We've had the music for maybe a month. With my schedule, it's hard to find a lot of time to just work on parts like that.
Other c|asses are going the same...Physics is still hard and AP Lang is still fun. Oh, and update on the "family project" I briefly described last blog: it sucks.
