i'm new xD yupyup....
sooooo.... what to say.... not in marching yet---but i can't wait to be!
i'm a clari player <3 and i love it! (: i'm also a violin player, and a tiny bit piano...
region just gone done for me. and i made it this year with a callback, but i bombed my state audition DX so, my two friends get to go to state, while i got stuck at the high school (FMHS) with the most weirdest conductor!
so, i guess that's mostly all i can really say on the first round... anything else ya wanna know? (: just ask questions!

Welcome! I must warn you, all newbies here get welcoming licks. -Lick!-
Don't feel bad about not making states. States are tough to get into. I think just about everyone has a weird directors. Mine for example is 70 something, thinks himself a pimp and allows us to call him P-Dawg.
Hope you feel at home here!

Oh wow O.o My friends private teacher is like 80 something, and she says that if you poke him, he'll fall over XD
Ahaha. Nice avvie XD
And yeah. My school director says that it was harder this year to get into state fer some reason )x But I really screwed up this year. Played my A scale like three times over, screwed up my solo, and messed up sight-reading D: Hopefully I'll have better luck next year (:

You seem like fun! You use lots of smilies and complete sentences. You're a good newbie! I don't lick though, so you're in luck. I just do some minor stalking, or or there...-shifty eyes- Welcome! PS: I FINALLY GOT TO 1000! I've been here for three years and I've just now hit it. Dx

Hello! Welcome! Hola! Bienvenidos! (I don't lick- sorry- tongue thing.)
I played violin for going on ehhh 14 years now (*feels old*). But I gave up the "competitive" violin playing back in high school to concentrate on horn. Hopefully things will go better for you in states next year. Your states seem really different from the way ours worked though... ohhh wellll.
Kk enjoy the boards and see ya around!

^w00t!
and don't feel bad about it. I've tried out for states 4 times and was rejected 4 times. My last audition, everything perfect. Except the scales. My a scale didn't even sound like a scale. Other than that, everything went perfectly. College is worse. I had perfect audition for the college around here's school of music. Didn't get in that either. But if you don't get it, you don't get in. You've tried your best and that's what matters.

Thank you all C: I love overusing smiles Andand congratulations on getting to 1k! (: Ah. I just picked up my sisters violin ONCE this year, and I was able to get through the beginners book in about 30 minutes XD I have to go slow on some of the songs, though, because I don't really know all of the fingerings for the strings and stuff, but it's pretty fun (: Oh wow O: This is my first year going for state. And I didn't really give it my BEST... more like 98% of it, cause I didn't really practice all that much throughout the year (up until I got the solo, that is). But, I know I'll do better next year 'cause I'm gonna be like a maniac! Running around, going here and there for everything... Ahahaha (: Well, I bet the Junior Region/State is the easiest to get into, though, right? Gosh. I can't wait for next year AT ALL >< Marching seems like fun (: And all the competitions... Sadly the marching band got 2nd this year by like, one one thousandth of a point! ): BUT, this year our middle school is going to festival, and I doubt we're going to do good... none of the band really wants to do it. But, after festival, we go to Orlando for our trip! (: Last year, for Spring Break, they went to DC and played for something big. Geeze, I spout a lot of things that don't really need to be said o___o
