State Evaluation

Sun Apr 5, 2009, 7:28 AM
  • Mood: Excited
So, I'm leaving for Naples in about 40 min. for State Evaluation. For those who don't know what I'm talking about (and I'm assuming that that's most of you)I'll explain.

In band, you can play a solo or ensemble in front of a judge who will then give you some comments and a ranking on the scale:
Bad
Good
Excellent
Superior

Honestly, there may be a fair in there and I doubt there's one called 'bad' but that doesn't really matter right now. Anyway, the pieces you play also have rankings on their level of difficulty from 1 to 7. If you are in high school, and get a superior ranking on a level 5 or higher solo, you are elligible to go to States.
(i played a level 6 this year)

States is basically the same thing, only a higher calliber. You play in front of a judge who gives you a ranking. I'm playing tomorrow at around 10:30, so everyone cross their fingers for me!

yeah, i basically took all that time to ask you to wish me luck..

WISH ME LUCK!

  • Listening to: Numa Numa
  • Reading: nothing at the moment
Yay! I'm back dealing with life and never felt better. I'm not sure I'll finish Kalliku Valley (my attempt to satire the prince charming idea failed miserably) but i'm returning to 'Truth' so look out for chapter 2.

Also, if you are one of the ones who see me everyday at school, you might have noticed I've been a little depressed lately. For news on why I'm not anymore and/or why Joe Jonas is an asshole feel free to ask me at school.

;D

  • Mood: Anguish
  • Listening to: some fleetwood mac song
  • Reading: lotf
so i know i haven't uploaded anything in a while. i'm not gonna be writing for a while atually. dealing with life at the moment. I'm not wasting my time however, and I'm currently researching for a science-fiction like story i plan on writing. hopefully i'll do that because i really like the story idea.

Anyway, I won't be adding anything new for a while and i can't make any promises for when I'll be back. I also won't be going to writer's cafe (if you were wondering)
thanks for understanding!

Because I could and you should too

  • Mood: Eager
  • Listening to: randomness
  • Reading: midterm study guides. ;P
Did this for fun. i'm not expecting anyone to guess...
Just taking a break from studying for midterms :P
I like how some of it seems like it sorta makes sense, and you can sense there's some hidden metaphor in there. ^^

----
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!


here come old flattopp
Stop! In the name of love,
sure is mellow grazin' in the grass
I feel like i've been locked up tight

Living easy, living free
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
(When this began) I had nothing to say
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage

In the town where i was born
well i saw the thing coming out of the sky
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
We can dance where we want to

Lets get it started in here
now here you go again
Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
This thing called love

Well shake it up baby now
hey, little sister, what have you done?
We're talking away
gotta make a move to a town that's right for me

say your prayers little one
well my heart knows me better than I know myself
I drive a million miles,
bright light city gonna set my soul
well, you can tell by the way i use my walk
