The verdict?
Paint markers are a no-go on school projects. >.>
We had a math assignment that was meant to stress area and volume and all that crap...we've had it for about two weeks, and I didn't do the actual thing until tonight. It's due tomorrow.
So yeah, I outlined it with this blue-colored paint marker - the kind you would use on model cars. Now my right wrist looks like it has Flamel's cross on it. O_< Yarr!
Yesterday was the band's Solo and Ensemble Competition. Me and two of my friends, Liz and Meg-chan, were doing an ensemble called "Scherzino"...it's a flute trio but it turned into a two-flutes-and-an-oboe trio. I'm the oboe, and I got the third part...because it went into the lower the notes - the ones that flutes struggle with. It's hilarious to hear a flute struggle. ^_^
Well, anyways, I screwed it up RIGHT AWAY. My VERY FIRST note, I played a B flat instead of a G. >< The beginning has a three-step entrance thingie. It went like this:
1.) Meg-chan: Two eighth notes (stop stop)
2.) Liz: (stop) Two eighth notes(stop)
3.) Me: (stop stop) Two eighth notes
Sorta like we each show ourselves for two eighth notes and then vanish. >.> But my first note was a G, and I played a B flat...like mentioned...and I winced. (I had the time to - didn't come in for another measure XD).
Surprisingly, when we were finished, the judge had absolutely no complaints. The flute girl that had been running around the entire day collecting judge sheets said that was the first time it had happened. All the judge lady told us was to try and do a U-shape formation so that we have eye-contact with each other.
When we got the sheet back, the "areas of improvement" were two sets of two measures - and those were we just played two half notes (2/4 time). O_O
But the best of all? We got a perfect score. =^.^= We couldn't believe it...it was amazing. We rushed to the office, which had become the "Festival Office" (thanks to a sign that I had put up the previous day XD) to tell Mr. V. He was amazed as well - and we were the first perfect scores of the day (and we had at least thirty groups before us). Beside our names on the chart hung up in the hallway, we had "Rank I*". The * for the perfect score. XD And as far as I'm concerned, we were the only ones to get it that day. ^_^
