(no subject)

[23:23:28] <`Invisible`> and right after the percussion ensemble, I get to roll the marimba by myself down the hall a ways into a room, hand the judge my music and start my solo, probably a minute or two after we finished the ensemble

[23:23:30] * _tyrle_ blinks

[23:23:49] <_tyrle_> fun

[23:23:52] <'Cherry|Shower> :P

[23:23:55] <'Cherry|Shower> silly ty

[23:24:08] <_tyrle_> no... drugged, sleepy and zoned out ty

[23:24:11] * `Invisible` had, somehow, channeled all her nervousness and crap to be repressed through the ensemble, and then.. it just rolled her over during her solo..

[23:24:16] <_tyrle_> so I think I'm gonna go nini:P

[23:24:19] <`Invisible`> mimi tyrle..

[23:24:29] <_tyrle_> it happens, rubes:)

[23:24:40] <`Invisible`> my foot was freaking shaking, and now I'm freaking crying remembering it

[23:24:46] <'Cherry|Shower> night ty

[23:24:49] <_tyrle_> awww:(

[23:24:51] * Della_Hale huggles rhubarb

[23:24:53] <'Cherry|Shower> aww

[23:24:53] * _tyrle_ huggles rubes

[23:24:57] * Cherry|Shower huggles rubah

[23:25:04] <`Invisible`> took me twenty minutes of singing My Immortal to myself to forget.. at least our ensemble got a one..

[23:25:17] <`Invisible`> but dangit.. 179 ones.. 150 people and who knows how many events>.<

[23:25:17] <_tyrle_> yay:D

[23:25:27] <`Invisible`> Mr Kay said that there were about four groups that got twos..

[23:25:59] <_tyrle_> a 2 still isn't bad

[23:26:24] <`Invisible`> yeah. I was thinking I'd get a three.

[23:26:36] * _tyrle_ has gotten both ones and twos in solos and ensembles

[23:26:42] <'Della_Hale> a two is pretty good

[23:26:42] <`Invisible`> but tish and caleb and jodi and them were saying that they were grading easy that night..

[23:26:56] <`Invisible`> lol tyrle, it was the first time I'd seen string instruments at things like this:)

[23:27:01] <'Della_Hale> :P how do they know what the judges were thinking?

[23:27:06] <`Invisible`> last year we couldn't go 'cause of snow, so we had it at our school

[23:27:23] <`Invisible`> they *were* grading easy. Easier than all-region

[23:28:03] <`Invisible`> tish jodi rachel and caleb and amy and I were in the hallway outside the director's room, and jonathan came up and was telling them they'd got ones, and tish was like 'what?! I didn't pay the judges or anything.."

[23:28:24] <_tyrle_> the last solo I did competing the cello solo had a piano accompanyment... my private teacher was going to play the accompanyment... we'd had that arrangement for months... then at the last minute something came up and he had someone else fill in for him, and I didn't find out till the morning of the contest... that didn't help my nerves any... and I ended up getting a 2:/

[23:28:50] <`Invisible`> :/

[23:29:15] <`Invisible`> but meh, I had a feeling picking the last song in the book would come back to haunt me.. And those stupid snow days didn't help either

[23:29:17] <_tyrle_> he was really apologetic and everything, but it was not amusing at the time

[23:29:24] <_tyrle_> heh

[23:29:25] <`Invisible`> I can imagine it wasn't

[23:29:28] <_tyrle_> oh well

[23:29:30] <_tyrle_> :)

[23:29:34] <`Invisible`> can't practise a marimba solo on a plastic and wood bell kit.

[23:29:37] <_tyrle_> there will be others:)

[23:29:46] <`Invisible`> I told me dad 'it's like practising for a guitar solo on a violin'

[23:29:48] <`Invisible`> -e+y

[23:29:51] <`Invisible`> yeah

[23:30:17] * `Invisible` turns Evanescence up a bit louder

[23:30:24] <`Invisible`> great song..

[23:30:52] <`Invisible`> I kept wondering what megan and danette and brittany and them were thinking what with me all holed up in my coat singing it and ignoring the world on the ride home:)

[23:30:53] * `Invisible` is now known as RubyLapiz

[23:31:03] * RubyLapiz huggles tyrle'n'cherrah'n'dedel

[23:32:02] <_tyrle_> I guess they are too expensive for your parents to get you one for use at home, and you don't have a way to borrow or lease one?

[23:32:10] <'RubyLapiz> @.@

[23:32:20] <'RubyLapiz> the only way I can like practice on one is to stay at school or get a private lesson

[23:32:28] <'RubyLapiz> and I was going to have one on wednesday, but tech was closed..

[23:32:45] <'RubyLapiz> so I stayed in the practise room after we finished with our ensemble for a while and played it through twice

[23:32:53] <_tyrle_> http://www.wwbw.com/category/?d=954725943&dd=954727690&c=954725955&b=0&sc=0&src=marimba

[23:32:54] <'RubyLapiz> I *knew* the music, I was just freezing up..

[23:33:06] * _tyrle_ was looking it up to see if she remembered correctly what one is

[23:33:16] <'RubyLapiz> it's an overgrown xylophone

[23:33:20] <_tyrle_> mmhmm

[23:33:45] <'RubyLapiz> I like that look of that one about ten down or so, 'Premiere' or whatever

[23:33:50] <_tyrle_> my sister, after starting and quitting musical instruments, decided she liked percussion

[23:34:01] <'RubyLapiz> nice, beautiful looking, but it's just about three thousand dollars

[23:34:07] * _tyrle_ nods

[23:34:12] <'Della_Hale> whoa....

[23:34:17] <_tyrle_> my beginners cello was 2500

[23:34:24] <'Della_Hale> i'd hand my kid a flute :P

An Explanation of the previous post:

Er..

Solo and Ensemble was yesterday. I was supposed to play at 9:00, then have a Percussion Ensemble at 9:40, but the way these always go, I ended up playing the ensemble at about 9:45, and then the solo right after that.

Anyways, I was really tense still, and I got really nervous, leg shaking and couldn't control my rolls or barely think straight, but I made it through the song and left.. Without the book, I think>.< Maybe by some chance it's still on the marimba where I left everything last night@.@

Got a 2. That sorta disapointed me. the Ensemble got a one.. But that was group victory, while the 2 was personal failure, or however I phrased it to myself sitting on the bus yesterday..

Anyways, I just copy pasted that from IRC last night 'cause if I start talking about it again, I"ll probably get upset, which is why this entry is so cold and emotionless.
