Yesterday me and my dad drove an hour to Round Lake for my IMEA audition. I'm going to guess that just about nobody knows what I'm talking about, basically IMEA is an all star band. You get the music in May, you audition in September and if you are picked to come back in November and get to play with everyone else that was chosen. For the audition I needed to know a page a scales and four songs (ten pages). All of the songs are really challenging and in the audition you don't play the whole song but you need to learn all of it. One of the songs I worked on for such a long time and I only played the first two lines. Now I realize you might not care or that you might be completely lost but I worked hard all summer and this was very important to me. Now you might be thinking "Well if you worked so hard in the summer, why were the songs so challenging?" but if you think about it working hard in the summer isn't that easy. I don't have much else to say other than I'm so happy its over, now I don't have to practice like a maniac and I very happy because I did much better than I did last year. (Last year I played about two notes right. Yep that bad.) To everyone who finished this blog that most people don't care about, thank you and keep your fingers crossed that I get in!

I've heard of IMEA. They have that for orchestra too, but I'm not doing it this year.
