Solo and Enseble Results

I got the results back from the Solo thing on saturday. For Matchmaker I got a 2, 1 being to highest and 5 being the lowest. And for the song I played on my Saxophone, I got a 3. But for one of the comments for me singing Matchmaker, one of the judges wrote "I hope someday you can be in the musical somewhere". For those of you that don't know, Matchmaker is from a musical called Fiddler on the Roof, and it is a really good musical.
I was really nervouse before we got to the music festival, and I didn't get time to warm up, but when I got on stage I felt more confident and just sang my heart out:)
For next years preformance, I will begin practicing now, and hopefull get a 1 next year, which includes a medal:)

Solo and Ensemble

Sorry about not updating for a long time, but here goes another blog about what I am doing.
Next Saturday there is a music festival for all people from kindergarten to Grade 12. You can have either a solo or an ensemble. For a Solo you can either have vocal, piano, and instrumental. For ensemble, which was preformed by a group of people, you could have vocal, instrumental, and pop/rock. Each person participating can have up to 3 performances. I am preforming two different songs. One I am going to sing a song called "Matchmaker" from "Fiddler on the Roof". For this song my mom is going to play the piano as accompaniment. And the other song is going to be "Come So Far" from "Hairspray", but this one I am going to play on my saxophone. At the end there is going to be an awards ceremony. I can't wait till I get to sing but then again I am sort of nervous. Wish me luck!
