Concerts for your trial pieces (1 Viewer)

[Crikket]

does every other school have a concert for the public where you play your hsc pieces?

 

[ujuphleg]

we do!! we're having a soireé the friday before performances are due to start...

 

[Crikket]

omg good luck!
how many people in yours?
we had to split our show into 2 and have 4 shows because there's too many people in my class.

 

[timyates_87]

yeh my school has one too, its going to get pretty boring for the audience listening to a trumpet for 40 minutes hehe

 

[moon_styla]

we have one too! i think its a great idea having this concert..

 

[Lexi]

Our school didn't have one ... But luckily my piano teacher's school had one and I sort of ... Crashed their night. Lol. But since there are only 3 people in my music class, it wouldn't be much of a concert! ^-^

 

[trumpet geek]

yeah we had one of thems it went for 2 nights and i played on the first night and i went first and played one piece then left straight away

yeh my school has one too, its going to get pretty boring for the audience listening to a trumpet for 40 minutes hehe

woah, is everyone in your class trumpeters?

 

[Crikket]

or are you just going to be playing trumpet for 40 minutes??!!

 

[timyates_87]

hehehe no just me playing my entire HSC Music 2 and Ext, im the ONLY trumpet

 

[Crikket]

i wish we had a trumpeter in our class, ours has 4 guitarists, 3 pianists, 1 bass, and 7 voice! the only thing close to 'different' instruments is 1 flute.

 

[ujuphleg]

we have a really small music class at my school so its all good.

we have: 2 trumpeters, 2 singers a drummer and an oboist (me) yeah and i'll be playing my entire program again too ... eek!!

 

[Crikket]

ooooh oboist! that's so awesome, we have sucky people with sucky normal instruments
jk jk
but i really wish we had some "other" instruments. we used to have a celloist (but we didn't like her much and left her out of group activities )

 

[timyates_87]

ohh ujuphleg you have two trumpets in your class, is that why you hate ALL trumpeters. ohh well

 

[Crikket]

lol, id' rather have 2 trumpeters than 7 vocalists in my class
why do you hate trumpeters ujuphleg?

 

[kylie_robbo]

Yeah... we had our concert on Monday night... went alright... glad we had one! I now have to find another piece!

 

[ujuphleg]

i don't hate all trumpeters, my best friend happens to be one. That doesn't mean that in the main they aren't usually annoying and arrogant though.

Come on, admit it. Whether we like it or not, musos love to stereotype each other. Percussionists are lazy, brass players are arrogant, string players are all lightweights, vocalists are lazy AND lightweights and the woodwind players are full of hot air, have no substance and can't play in tune. Question: how do you get two ______ (insert oboists, violinists, french horns etc. etc. here) in tune?? Answer: Shoot one (preferably the second player)

So timyates_87, no hard feelings. I don't hate you, hey, i don't even know you. just doing what all musos do best...

Of course, we can always make an acception. Thats when you get the Visual Arts people in and all the musos just bag them out together.

Hee Hee! Funny!!

I totally agree with you. I love it because I play heaps of the instruments in our band (Bari sax, Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, Trumpet and sometimes Tympani) and I can bag ALL of them out, especially the one's I'm not playing at that time. ^-^. But seriously, the trumpets in our band (exculding me, of course) CANNOT count to four! It's discraceful!!

 

[ujuphleg]

trumpet_geek and timyates_87 are gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks for that.

its kinda true though. sorry guys!!

i still love baggin out the visual arts people with my mates though. or the drama students. they're funny. you can make them cry...

 

[timyates_87]

Lexi how could you turn against your own family.......

but serioulsy how many instruments do you play, thats pretty good. James Morrison style...
