We had UIL for band today. It's a contest.
It consists of a stage performance and a sight reading section. In that section they hand us a piece of music we have never seen before, have the director explain it in ten minutes, he only gets to actually count out the rhythms in the last three minutes. It's to show that we can really read music.
So we played on stage and we did pretty good, although i felt personally i could have done a bit better. And then we went to sight reading, and it went better than any of us expected. We're not usually that great at it.
>.<
and then at the end Vega told us we got sweepstakes! which means we got a I from all the judges. Three on stage and three in sight reading. They rate from I-V, I being the best.
It's possible to get a I on both without getting sweepstakes, because they average out all the judges' scores.
So it was exciting!
It was the first time in like 5 years that Americas got sweepstakes(:
So it was a good day(:
That's cool! :)
