It’s My Imagination

Band Tryout Update

May 15, 2008 on 7:19 pm | In Family | 2 Comments

The band director almost forgot to give my daughter her tryout today!  I guess she was the only one from her elementary school that was trying out and he simply forgot!  Anyway, I was running late due to a doctor’s appointment, so she was able to stay after school and play for him.  I think this allowed her to be more relaxed because the other students had left for the day.

The tryout itself wound up being easier than she thought it would be.  Of course, with all the practicing she did over the last two days, she was prepared for something more difficult.  I say, it’s better to be over prepared!  She only had to play three scales and then he opened her own music book to an arbitrary page and had her sight read a piece of music.

The band director told her that she had done very well and, while he couldn’t tell her anything just yet, he felt good about her playing level.  We should know something in the next couple of weeks.  Please keep your fingers crossed!
