yesterday was our BSU band clinic. it was fucking awesome! except for wearing those freaking thin dresses in the morning...fucking cold! and the jacket that Bryan gave me for "Xmas" shrunk in the wash TT.TT now it's too small for me! anyways, so when we got there, we had to fist critic Capital's playing of Fantasy on a Theme by Sousa and one other song. i hate having to critic bands. i can never hear anything wrong. can you believe that? 6 years of band i can't STILL can't tell the difference between sharp, flat, or in tune. after that, we played our songs then got critiqued on Sea Songs by some director who came all the way from Arkansas. then we either went to clinics or i think you had to go watch Timberline play. i went to the clarinet clinic. then it was lunch. can we spell D-D-R in the S-U-B? (SUB stands for Student Union Building) and i was kicking Byran's standard playing ass! because he's only a half-standard player and i just mostly stayed on light (but i did play Break Down on standard, since i've practically memorized it) so yeah. then the WHOLE band was supposed to go and watch the BSU band ALSO play Fantasy, but SOME people (aka Bryan and Chris) were stupid and didn't go. and boy, did they miss out on something great. when the low voices came in on their first note...it was just beautiful. our band will NEVER be able to sound like that. and the WHOLE song was in tune! even the clarinet solo was in tune.....so beautiful.....then when we were done with that, there was a trombone sectional that the guys had to go to, so i went with Tina to the woodwind quintet. and Audrey was there! my evil twin! i had forgotten that she was the oboe in honor band all those years ago, so when we judged Capital i was like, "omg...is that Audrey? as the OBOE?" and when she met up with Chris and me later, she took one look at the oboe in my hand and was like, "i thought you were a clarinet?" and yeah. and it was funny, cause Borah had to leave the quintet early, so Audrey said bye to me and i waved back and said, "bye Audrey," and the room burst out laughing cause our names sound really similar.
and i tried to burn Advent Children onto DVD, since we're watching it for Anime Week starting Monday and it turns out the computer can't burn DVDs! unless it can, and i just don't know how. so for those that would know: how do you burn a DVD from Window's Media Player? IS it possible?
i guess that's all for tonight. don't want to bore y'all with my life
