Concert Band Competition - Winner gets a live performance!

Alright..well don't overwork yourself. I'm leaving for 2-years in October so this is the last change before I come back in 2009. But like you said...there are other competitions.

ah. well, then, I suppose you will have to wait until your shining return to hear my stuff... which is good, because really, I'll be better then :)

also, if you would like to hear the kind of stuff I do, then go to jazz/ pop in a minute... I'm making some last minute changes and uploading this nice head. I like it.

anyhow, have fun, wherever you are going to be for 2 years :)

I am serving a mission for my church in Portland, Oregon.

ah! good stuff. well, have fun! and check out some jazz :P (my journal is updated basically daily and it usually has some good jazz vids listed... check it out! (the rouge Clarinetist))

Man! I missed out on a good one... only two days to the deadline, the initial post doesn't say it's closed, but I doubt I can write something coherent and complete on this scale in two days. Maybe, just maybe, I'll take a crack at it though, just for kicks... been meaning to write something for concert band.

Yeah! Go for it! I'll give you a little extra time if you need it. PM me and let me know and I can work out something for you. I can't give you much for than a day...MAYBE up to a week.

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT!

I submitted mine last night...I hope you got it...

I'm going to submit three things, if you don't mind. I'm going to need the extra time, I've been busy all week and couldn't get everything together. I should have everything in presentation condition for tomorrow.

I submitted mine last night too.

I totally forgot to last night, and I can't really right now. So later on when I'm home again, I promise to submit.

Should there be a part for every instrument? Cause I wrote a little piece recently (about 4,5 min) for a small wind section (in random order):

-Flute

-Oboe

-Clarinet in Bes

-Bassoon

-Trombone

-Contrabass

-Bariton Sax

-Alto Sax

-Trumpet in Bes

-French Horn in F

-Drumset

-Xylophone

If you are interested I would like to send it to you! (in Finale format) :)

That will be fine. Send it to me.

EVERYONE...PLEASE TURN IN YOUR SCORES IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO!

I have a question: When are you going to announce the results (the first place)?

I am really excited about the results...

Approx. 1-2 weeks. I hope to get everything reviewed this Monday. Then I will need to sit down and type out the critique sheets and e-mail them.

Some people may actually get their scores back by postal mail because I have marked up their scores. But I am not going to be the only one reviewing.

Just to let everyone know. I should be presenting all of the scores to my conductor this evening. I hope I can get everything printed out in time for practice...

I'm actually quite eager to know how your conductor reacts when he's given my abysmal score.

I'm actually quite eager to know how your conductor reacts when he's given my abysmal score.

I think the worst thing he would do is open his eyes wide and say, "ok...."

But I don't think he'll do that...He's taking this quite serious.

Haha, yeah, I s'pose. But it's a pretty messy score. And the most I can do in terms of fixing it up is... nothing at all really. Make some stuff better aligned and beam some notes better. Yeah.

I FORGOT AGAIN...to take those scores to my conductor... Baaaaaa.

I did get his address! But I will probably just take him everything on Sunday since I have no time whatsoever. I've given myself too much to do I'm afraid. Overdoing it a bit.

I'm at work right now...it's nice having internet...but I can't get anything done like printing or mailing stuff off...and I work from 6am-6pm.

I want to let everyone know that I'm running a bit slow on this. However, I want to let you know what I'm going to do.

1) I'm going to mail or deliver the scores to my conductor.

2) I am going to pick and winner and he will pick one.

3) The winner will be given the conductor's address so that you can mail them directly to him.

4) I am working on writing some critiques right now. The critiques may be passed back out before the winner is announced.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Congratulations...

1st place: Untitled - Mitchell W. (Mitchell)

2nd place: Introduction and Allegro - David F. McConaughey (flint-wwrr)

3rd place - Rising from the Oblivion - Seann Branchfield (Eselbeus)

I will be sending all the scores to the conductor with your e-mails and addresses. That is as far as I can go because I am leaving out of town for two years. I can't guarantee a performance for the winners, but if he likes your piece I will encourage him strongly to contact you. IF YOU HAVE NOT SUBMITTED YOUR E-MAIL, ADDRESS, OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT THE CONDUCTOR TO KNOW (in order to contact you) THEN YOU NEED TO DO THAT IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!

For those few who have not received their critique sheets via e-mail, I will be getting those too you within the next week! It would be helpful if you would notify me if you have not received a critique sheet. I don't think Michelle has...who else?

Note to all...every score has been mailed to the conductor of my band with contact information on EVERY score.

Also, I will be giving the top three winners an address to send scores and parts to within the next week. SO GET TO WORK! HAHAHA! No, you can mail them when you like, but I decided this particular conductor would probably rather just have the top three handy instead of having to ask for them.

Good luck! I've begun work on starting the next competition...2 years to complete it so check out the planning forum! Any input would be nice...I hope everyone had fun and benefited because I sure did!!!

Congrats Mitchell :D!
