LA:
I had to leave for trying out the Trombone. Amanda said I was a evil "teacher" O_O;, I thought she was talking about Mr.Hanna! XD
Trying-out-the-Trombone:
^.^
Mr.Hanna told Mrs.Tengood about what we were doing. Mr.H:We're trying out the Trombone! Mrs.T:OH COOL! xD
Mr.Hanna got the Trombone and green stuff came out. O_O xD
Mr.Hanna wanted me to buzz my lips. I couldn't, but he sure could. xD
I tried Buzzing on the mouthpiece... I FINALLY DID IT! Except.... it sounded like a duck. xD
Then... we tried the Trombone. OMG it was soooo fun! I got to do 1st,4th and 6th postition(1st=Bb w/ low buzz,6th=C,4th=D , 6th=F w/ low buzz)And I got to move the slide. VERY Fun! :3
Mr.Hanna got this horrible looking case. xP it was REALLY ugly; It was brown leather, with one dark brown half and the other half was light brown. It looked like a luggage case! xD But the Trombone was nice, excelent slide action. It was a Yamaha. The one before that had a nice black case, but not good slide action, it needed slide oil
. It was a Bundy(Bach). The Yamaha case is the case I want(except w/ the ugly outside xD) because the Trombone bell is rested and the slide is stored inside the case (Theres a slot for the slide). The Bundy one had a nice outside, but it had a slide holder that had to be buttoned, and I didn't want the slide to fall out when I get the case open.
I got confused how to put my hand on the brace. xD
The trombone was heavy compared to the flute. xD
Mr.Hanna said I was doing a Flute breath, and I cannot do that on Trombone.
Mr.Hanna asked me if I did my "Homework" on the slide postitions, I said yes. And he asked me what 7th postition was, I said "Near the end of the slide." He said I was correct.
Mr.H wanted me to do Bb,F,D,C. I tried to move the slide fast, but he said that wasn't what he wanted me to do, big oops. So it was like: MrH: Bb. Me:*Moves slide to 1st* MrH: D. Me:*Moves slide to 4th* MrH: C. Me:*Moves to 6th* MrH: F. Me:*Moves slide to 6th*
This is what I did: Me:*Moves to 1st then 6th then 4th, very quickly.*
I asked mr.hanna if I could bring a trombone home to practice. He was thinking about it and said no, but maybe Friday(Tomorrow) I can bring it.
I didn't pull the slide down onto the floor. I held it up infront of me, like how you would hold a Trumpet.
If I did that during band, I would hit someone(Possibly a Flute! xDDD) in the head O_O.
Mr.H wanted me to try 7th position, and I couldn't grip my whole fist so he said I should just use the tips of my fingers and I shouldn't be scared because it won't fall off(Only if you stretch it far enough).
End of Try-out:
Mr.Hanna told me that his WHOLE family plays Trombone except him! Mr.Hanna: My cousin is getting a degree in Trombone. I have a degree in Clarinet. My dad also plays trombone, he's retired so now all he does is play Trombone! Me:No way, your kidding. I never knew there was a degree in instruments! =O
LA: I came back.
I showed amanda my MP(Mouthpiece),she thought it was a awesome "present". xD
Amanda wanted a mouthpiece. Me:Will you join band? Amanda:No, i just want one! xD
Amanda was doing that knuckle to knuckle thing w/ me. Me:Trombone BRACE hand(Left!)! Me:Trombone hand(Right!)! xD
Sci:
Vinny wouldn;t stop talking. Mr.V : Vinny stop. Vinny:Okay! *Gets tape and tapes mouth shut.* xD So he was all "Mmmhhmhmmm!!HHHH!!" xD
Vinny had to take the tape off so you could hear was "OWWWW!!" xD
Eric has a band(not professional) and he made a cd for Vinny. Vinny:Why is this song called "Supdeep in the back seat"? Eric:Long story. xD
Office:
I wanted to ask Mr.H again if I could bring a trombone home. Me:I don;t even care if its that Yamaha one. xD He said he'll think. I also told him I wouldn;t break it or lose it.
Spanish:
Vinny was looking at me.
SS:
I told Colby about my mouthpiece, she wanted to see it. I showed her it and she said it was huge. xD (Its a trombone shank(mouthpiece for brass
) a big one. :3)
Vinny said hi to me in a very quiet voice...
;;; Vinny:*Quitely*Hi skadi. Me:??? Vinny:Hi skadi! *Waves* Me:Hey. *Waves*
