With just over a week before the performances begin, how does everyone feel about their's?

Mine are on the first day, Monday 3rd, at 8.30am. So however bad your time is, don't worry, mine's worse.

Do you think you're prepared? Have you got a practise plan worked out for this coming week?

I'm currently playing through my program twice a day, and also tweaking my warm-up and trying to figure out what will suit me best. I've been getting up early to play at 8.30 (neighbors must hate me) to try and play in the time I will be playing and man it is HARD. Its like I can't play at that time of the day.

So yeah, this week will be pretty full on. Nerdy I know. What is everyone else up to?

(P.S. More of my attemps to revive this dead forum)

Nothing wrong with being nerdy. We're Year 12. :)

You're immaculately prepared. I commend you. I have 2 of my pieces down, and the 3rd is nowhere near completion. Stupid guitar teacher has dogged me for the last 4 weeks, so I'm going to play a song with my old band as a backup.

i'm pretty ready i think, considering over the past year ive known one of my pieces ive only played it about 800 times (no exaggeration there, seriously, about that many times). I stuffed up one of my pieces in the trial which i need to do more work on. I feel really nervous though cause i need to lengthen my pieces a little bit so that i can get maximum marks

I'm doing all performance on clarinet (6 pieces) for music 2 and ext. pretty set i think. I got 96 in the trial and topped my school so we'll see what happens i guess. 35 mins of clarinet is pretty tough! we'll see how it goes i guess!

I know how you feel ^^

I play trombone, and after my trials I was stuffed. 7 days left, woo!

I actually find preparing for Music so much better than say English. I dreading having to start my study back up for the exams...

Whoa, mine are this coming tuesday. Not nervous yet, but i know on the day i'll be crappiing myself. I learnt from trials not to have a full rehersal on the day of exams.

Hope everyone went well!
