Who wants to wish me luck?
Tomorrow I will have my first ever solo/ensemble competition. My friend and I have worked for two months on this song, Ragtime Waltz by Keith Snell. It's a beautiful piece.

He's on alto saxophone, I'm on the bari. I'm nervous right now...

9. Hi Kitchy!
Still mourning our dear friend Mr. Puckett?

I will break a leg... Not literally, at least! I don't want to fall off the stage....

Being nervous means only that you're in touch w/reality!

Once you get going, you will be FINE!

16. I'll have fun just as long as the parental units don't embarass me...
I'm really good friends with the guy that's on alto... but if my parents do something stupid... he'll taunt me for the rest of the year....

But they won't do anything.... on purpose, at least.

:hi:

14. Good luck, Manda.

remember: The bari is the focal point of the sax quartet/wind ensemble. *You* are the one who makes it all happen.
You're the rhythm section, and don't let anyone else forget it.

18. The bari is the best thing on earth...
Such a low, earthy sound that can't be beat. Forget the alto, the bari is where it's at!

27. You'll do fine.
Make sure that everyone hears 2 and 4 of every measure. It's ragtime, so relax and provide them a steady backbeat. Have fun, kiddo. You'll do great.

24. Who WOULDN'T want to wish you luck?
It's late, and you need to get some rest for tomorrow. Go to bed, young lady.

You'll do well. Trust me on this.
