Have you ever felt so excited after a test knowing that, not only did you pass it, but you’re confident you aced it? I did :) I had a Form test this morning, and I felt so nervous this week about it because I got a C on the first test, and I had missed the form completely, the most important thing in the whole test. Well last night, I asked Marc if Eric and I could study with him since he did get an A last time. He and Jeremiah came over, and we ordered pizza. But we actually didn’t get as much studying done as I’d hoped because Jeremiah, as nice of a guy as he is, and as much as I laughed at all his stories, had.... a lot of stories lol. We studied some, between munching down some pizza and talking. I had never hung out with either Marc or Jeremiah before, but they’re great guys. More on this later.... Anyway, they left a little before midnight with a box of pizza.
When I took the test this morning, I labeled the form as sonata. Eric and Jeremiah put down sonata-rondo, and Marc labeled it as sonata. Half the class stayed outside after class to wait for Dr. Ted to tell us the correct form. “It’s sonata form,” he said finally. Marc and I just looked at each other and let out a big, “YES!” I never felt so satisfied with a test lol. The rest of my day just kind of fell into place after that good news :)
Okay, so the reason I was dwelling earlier on Jeremiah and Marc being great guys is because (I’m totally stereotyping here but) most percussionists I know are jerks, and that’s putting it lightly. The studio here vs. the studio in K-ville are night and day. The guys here are actually the nicest percussionists I’ve ever met, and it’s so refreshing because you just don’t see that everywhere. Granted, there were a couple of gentlemen in the K-ville percussion studio just like I’m sure the studio here has one or two jerks, but for the most part the difference is, like I said, night and day.
There’s a Percussion Ensemble concert tonight, and I’m SO looking forward to it, especially the amazing bass ensemble! :D
