My Strengths:
Some of my strengths in band are having a good range with my trumpet and also knowing how to read music.
My Weaknesses:
Some of my weaknesses in band are that I don't know the scales hardly at all and I tend to get off subject fast and not concentrate.
Smart Music:
My baseline score for Smart Music this year was 74%. I think that, that was pretty good for never playing the piece before. The score wasn't accurate though because I know that I messed a lot of it up and when I wasn't playing it was reading my nots as correct.
9/11 Performance Reflection:
This years 9/11 memorial performance was pretty good compared to last year. I liked that we actually went with the concert set-up opposed to just sitting in the bleachers. We played the songs very well for only having three rehersals. I only got to practice each song once because I was out of school for FFA activities, but because of my ability to sight-read music, I played it just as well as everyone else. Overall this performance was good and showed patriotism towards our country.
