Okay. So last Friday, Mr. Jessup (my band director) hands me a piece as I'm leaving.
It's called Blue Shades. Here's the link: http://manhattanbeachmusiconline.com/manhattan_beach_music/audio/blue_shades.mov
And if you've never heard of it, it is 433 measures with 168 beats a minute.
I have 3 solos in it.
The first one is 5 measures, the second one is 2 measures, and the third one is 55 measures.
THE THIRD ONE IS AN ENTIRE PAGE. If you listen to the music, you will be able to tell where the solo is. It stands out majorly.
My private lessons teacher, Mr. Lawson, had a colleague from Chicago Symphony come up to him and tell him that the entire piece relies on me. Which, of course, Mr. Lawson already knew.
This piece could be the piece that puts me on the Most Wanted (in a good way) list for numerous amounts of colleges.
If I cannot get this piece down, we won't play it at Mid-state.
Can you imagine? All the pros are looking at me now. "Can he get it or will he fail?"
I WILL get it.
Off to practice.
