"So how do your lips feel?" --Mrs. Greene
No hesitation "Numb!" --Austin
What a great morning we had! We had over forty local youth musicians gather today at the First Baptist Church in Franklin for the beginning of the 8th edition of the Junior Silver Cornets. Mr. Cartwright resumed his directorial post to steer our mighty music-mobile through some lively and melodic pieces of music. Tyler helped us out with the term subito means (it means "suddenly" but even more mature players may still mistake it for some other musical directions). Lots of us would follow a rainbow if it would lead to an amusement park; we learned that there is no orange Power Ranger, and that it is going to take some cajoling to get Mr. Cartwright to demonstrate the Cha Cha de Salsa (perhaps if he is given a sombrero-it will give him amazing Latin dancing powers). Thank goodness we live in the 2010s where girls are not just allowed to be in bands, but that they make up a good size of the group. A few folks walked away with a little more facial hair than they arrived with courtesy of the novelty sticky mustaches (those will make it hard to play/practice, but it would look entertaining).
I hope you all rest up, relax, look at your music and figure out some
fingerings and locate some tricky spots. We will see you bright and
early tomorrow morning for round two--we have a couple of pieces to
sight read still and then we move on to the task of polishing and
perfecting. You folks already sounded so nice; you will sound amazing
in our couple of rehearsals.
