nah, mate unfortunatley i'm not in the orchestra - i didnt even audition cos i never had the time. Eeehee, if i was though and i was tuning you, i'd play it really flat, just once, to get you back for all the mean things you called me. Then we'd be even fair and square.

Chepas and I are going to be in the Choir, so with the same set up as last year, we'll come down and say hi to you i'm sure.

Is trumpet_geek doing it to?!

EDIT: 5 PAGES!! wow, this has to be a music forum record... rivalled only by Trumpeters Unite...

Hey all, whos going to Concert Series 3 on 17/18th November, i think its SWE, SWO and Manly High Concert Band on the 17th and Orchestra and who cares what else on the 18th . Orchestra is playing "Poet and Peasant" by Suppe, "Die Fledermaus" by Strauss and Schubert's 7th Symphony 1st Movement!!! really a great program and a great brass section led by yours truely Would anyone in SWE like to share what your playing too.

Also a big BOS congrats must also go out to Steph_Eff and Trumpet_Geek who also made i into Schools Spectacular 2004!!! YAY!!

I think that makes 5 BOSers at this years spec!! should be GREAT!!

 

[chepas]

Hey cool - So many people getting good places in Spec. Niice! Congrats tim, trumpet geek and steph .

Re: Concert Series. Nice pieces that the Orch is playing. Never have heard Die Fledermaus in a concert hall.... Mmm......

I saw that in the Spec prog. that there is another frigging Evanescence thing - on the CD that was sent to the school teacher leader people anyways - WHY is there more? Last years' was argh enough!

Susan - are you Alto or Sop, so I know in which direction to look. I'll be in Bass...

 

[vicksta]

Hehehe chepas, i so agree with the whole evanescence thing!!! I went to watch last years with my grandparents, and my poor grandma was nearly deafened, cos it was so loud!!

I hope they turn the volume down a bit this time!! What other songs are in spec this year? I know of "How to Explain" by Cat Empire and "Your Can't stop the beat" cos my sister is dancing to them, but im curious to know what else we're all in for!!

Yay!! I'm going to watch!! Not as good as being in it, but still pretty good!

 

[trumpet geek]

huh? Evanescence? As in that gay crappy rock band with that lead singer chick who is a goth wanabe tryhard and she cant sing? Because if its them then yeah their awful who chooses the bloody songs in schools spec? Argh
