Oh ok then it is then. Solo and band use the same system, thats how it works here. I'm doing the Concerto in E Minor for my Alto solo, its also a Grade 6. I'm trying to write my own concertino just for fun, for flute and piano. I saw you have Finbale Printmusic, I also have that software.

Whats your solo grading system? Ours goes from 1-7, 7 being the hardest. Chaminade Concertino is a 6 here.
tenorsax13
lol have you seen the Chaminade?! It helps you with range and stuff it goes from the C below the staff up to the B two octaves above the staff. Thats 5 ledger lines!!  lol but its so fun to play, especially with the piano accomp.

Yea the Chaminade Cocertino isn't too difficult, it just takes some practice and an aquired obsession of the chromatic scale. lol

Well i'm talking high school band, its WAY different then Middle school. It was the same way for me last year too, but at the summer marching camp you see how serious it is.
tenorsax13
Thats true. I just gotta see if time permits, the band director makes our lives very involved in band, in fact, 80% of anything I do involves music. 
Yea, if I had a piccolo I'd audition on it, but sometimes piccolos arent used, for obvious reasons(lol).
tenorsax13
lol, any way I post on your page and you post on mine. That should keep it simple.
Well I'm thinking of auditioning for the Patel Conservatory Youth Orchestra on flute, but it depends on time and such, with going into high school marching band and all. I play sax in jazz and marching band, but I really like flute the best.

adding*: i didn't get in this year. it was my first audition for an orchestra. but i got into two others i auditioned for
bp_oboist
cool what's that? haha, i can't wait for pyso (pittsburgh youth symphony) auditions next may. they keep the same audition music every year.. so if you audition once and don't get in; i guess that gives you a better chance next year? haha i really don't know. but good luck with the auditions/festival next year :D

oh lol, its easier to see replies if they are on your own page! I've been practicing the Chaminade Concertino for Solo Festival in February! Its fun.

Hi I play oboe but I'm trying to raise money to buy an English horn. I can't wait till I can get one!!
bp_oboist
i loved it. my band director is going to ask the symphonic band director at the highschool if i can have permission to use it. which is making me very excited :] but i honestly can't wait to audition on it for pyso (youth symphony orchestra) to see where i stand with it.

Hey, I'm pretty good. Solo ensemble is over now and its time to start getting ready for my recital in May. I like your new pic. So, how do you like english horn so far?
