Last week, our orchestra participated in Festival, where you play for judges, and they rate you on how well you played. We played the following pieces: Arlington Sketches, Dragon Dances, and Westminster Prelude and Fugue. Those were really fun pieces, and I liked them a lot. They were lively, and fun to play. Overall, our orchestra got a rating of 'Excellent.' I think that we could have done better, but we were just nervous when we played. Afterwards, we heard the judges' audio commentary on a CD, and the comments were nice, and he pointed out that we needed to work more on our dynamics, which I agree on.
Festival was really fun to be a part of. Finally, after a tedious week of working, the weekend is finally here! I'm so excited for the weekend, because we finished The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and I've started The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. So far, I really love that game, as much as I do as Twilight Princess. So far, I've found my loft wing, competed in a race, and Zelda's been captured by a black hole. I can't wait to play more. Even though I'm not that far, I still really love it. I've finished my homework as fast as I could, and now I don't have homework, so I'm really excited for playing on my Nintendo Wii. No doubt, I'm really excited for the weekend after this long and tedious school week of work and CST prep tests. I'm also learning songs from the game series, and I'm really excited to keep on learning and playing that over the weekend, too!
