I think cabin fever is a really good experience for people who don’t like to get up in front of people. Also they get to show off there talent that no one knew about. I love coming to cabin fever, it usually runs pretty flawlessly. But I wasn’t able to attend this year. But it is a cool thing for our community to come and watch.
Festival
I had a great experience, we had a bad warm up room but we pulled through, listened to each other, and watched sir. Personally I had a little mess up but it didn’t bother anything. Then we went to sightreading, I’m always scared about sightreading because we have never seen the music and the key signature always gets people even to know we play it all the time and review it. But sightreading went well I think we could of been a little more aggressive with the accents and dynamics. But we did good! All ones!! States here we come! This will be a great way to finish of senior year.

Pep band
I personally wasn’t able to go to a lot of pep bands I have a baby. But I liked doing them last year, sometimes they got boring because some people didn’t like the songs we did. But its a bit time consuming when you don’t like basketball.
What I have been listening to?
I like listening to instrumental music and tap my foot to it and find the beat. Classical music is good to. To be honest I don’t listen to a lot of music so I don’t really know how to answer this question.
Claudio Abbado
Claudio was an Italian conductor. He worked in a bunch of different places. For example the La Scala opear house. He was born in Milan, Italy in 1933 he was the some of a violinist. So music was in his blood. He got a great opportunity many orchestral rehearsals and feel in love. He had a great life from 1968 to 1986 he conducted in his hometown then he conducted in the opear house from 1986 to 1991. He also was the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He did a lot of romantic music but he also did modern music. One big achievement he has was in 1973 when he won the Mozart Medal. Also in 2012 he was put on the Gramophone hall of fame.
Amazment with watching the marching Cavaliers
Have you ever wished you were as good as a group or a band? Watching the cavaliers makes me feel that way. They amaze me with their footwork and moves they do. They always are on time and never off step. I wish my band could be that good, I just think my band need to have more focus and stop the distractions. If we were to do that we would be more amazing!
Who I am listening to and why?
Recently, I have been listening to classical music or instrumental music. I have choose this because it is soothing and relaxing. It puts me in my happy place and lets me think straight. I helps me keep time in the music and I can usually mark time with it. Its helpful to slow down with your music sometimes and look at it from a different perceptive. Different types of music can help you see how to do it when you have many different pieces your learning .
