Band Tryouts
I’m trying hard to get back into some sort of routine after being gone, but there just seems to be so much on my plate right now, mainly dealing with my daughter and preparing for her move up to middle school (junior high) next year.
Last night and tonight she is practicing hard on her baritone. She is trying out tomorrow for the 7th grade honors band for next year. It would certainly be exciting if she qualifies! If not, I’m sure she will at least be placed in the symphonic band which she would also enjoy.
For tryouts, she has to play several scales and also do some sight reading of music. I’ve been working with her on both, mainly to build her self confidence. She started out last night in tears, but by the time we were done, she was so much more comfortable. She’s been playing her instrument for two years, so it really was just reassuring her that she was capable of doing it. I think she now knows that she is indeed capable. I can’t wait to hear how tomorrow goes.
In the mean time, I’ve been trying to catch up on my EC dropping. I’m trying, but not always successfully. It seems that EC is running somewhat slowly and causing issues with my computer. I keep having to pause while things load on sites, even the simplest blog is taking a while to load. So, if I didn’t return your drop, I do apologize. I will keep trying.
