Short-Listed for Encore 2006 (1 Viewer)

[NobodyKnows]

This is a thread for all those short-listed to post their thoughts, worries, queries, etc.... really I'm just nosey and wanna know who gets in.

Yeahey.

 

[huh~~]

I got a nomination.

All together, our school got 3, out of 10 students. Our teacher was really proud.

I got my nomination from my principal this morning! It was an already emotional day, because tonight we're graduating. I can't believe it, I'm terribly excited!

 

[erin_tonkin]

o shit... that means i didnt get in

a girl from my music 1 class got nominated and the rest of us (9 people do music 1 and i think there are 5? who do music 2) were ecstatic! we're so proud of her

but we were also suprised cuz this was someone who never came to class... but she plays for the sydney orchestra or something aswell so i guess that overrides the truanting hehe

some music 2 people were feeling down that they didnt get in but still happy for our violinist

i'd like to know the sorts of pieces that others got nominated for. i don tknow which piece our girl got nominated for but, she played a chinese, gypsie, classical piece as well as the theme from schindler's list

they were really complicated and different from what you'd normally hear, which was also a reason why she got chosen, a part from her magnificent playing

edit: i'd also like to add that her pieces were really moving, and make you cry hehe unlike other violinist who make you cringe and cover your ears

Ooooooh congratulations on those who got nominated!

How exciting!

Hi. Congratulations to everyone who got nominated! I also got nominated- the only one out of nine, which was a real surprise! I was just wondering how many people usually get nominated, (as only around 20 are accepted into the final concert)- or is there no limit on nominations?

Thanks.

I got my nomination for encore 1 day before my birthday so it was a pretty good present! I play the piano though so i think it's going to be pretty hard to actually get in to encore.

Hi all, Congrats to those who got a nomination for ENCORE! I got nominated and they announced it in front of my whole year and our year 10 students at our graduation mass. I was so stoked! They also said that I am their first student EVER to get a nomination! So I'm pretty happy. I just really hope i get in the final program. But good luckto all those who are short listed. Keep up the good work!:worried:

 

[bonnie04]

I was hoping to get a nomination for encore, but I guess I would have heard by now.
Do you think it's still possible to get a high mark and not get chosen?

 

[lindo]

we had two nominations out of our class of seven (music 2) - we were all sooo proud!! one's for piano and one's for flute - they're both so so talented, i'd be very surprised if the pianist doesn't get in actually... but congratulations to everyone who was nominated! that's awesome!

A girl in our class got a nomination...i'm soo proud of her!!! We're trying to organise the whole class to go up next year to support her

Congratulations to everyone

Hi Sailor

Yes, definately you can still get very close to full marks and not get a nomination. I talk from experience based on previous years at my school, quite a few students achieve fantastic results and didnt get nominated.
I guess I was just lucky to get one. But it does really make people less or more talented, the artistic world is of a subjective nature.

All the best,

Audrey

Hi Audrey,

Thanks, I'm not as worried now!

Congrats on your nomination! Good luck with making it in !!

What about compositions? Do they send out nominations?

 

[Addictd2]

aww i didnt get a nomination. oh well i didnt think i was very good anyway.

Even if you get full marks and didnt get a nomination its because there are probably lots of others who got full marks as well. and probably they are going to choose a variety of instruments and genres for the performance so you may have a common genre piece or instrument

 

[DH1988]

Congrats all! Does getting nominated necessarily mean getting full marks?

Nup. There have been people who have performed in Encore who weren't full mark scorers I guess it's just their style or instrument or genre of music that they were selected for.

 

[nessyfreak]

well if you are nominated you must have gotten full marks for the particular piece that is nominated. so your overall mark doesnt have to be 100 because your other pieces could be lower and nominated people dont all get 100 for the written paper! (although im sure some do...)

I'd be interested to see what the nomination to "getting into the concert" ratio is. Congrats to all so far though--getting nominated is a huge achievement!
