3 Days before Virginia All-State Orchestra Auditions (I don't think I'm making it).

Sorry about the bad audio, my room is awful in terms of acoustics. Also, sorry for the bad playing.

this what the mosquito in my room listens to and lovingly sings back in my ears every night

[@GarIicClove]

hopefully there are no mosquitos singing because that would be a nightmare

[@mezzomoo]

Nah bro you're cracked on the violin! You so skilled bro. Good luck at audition!

[@GarIicClove]

Thanks bro, but idk. These past few days some of the only days I actually practiced lol

[@jasonhentrich]

Good luck! Auditions are tough but I always try to remember that the people I audition for always want me to succeed.

[@littlebumgorf]

It’s pretty good! Try to phrase the 32nds so they don’t feel rushed. Exaggerate the dynamics that are written. Also there are lots of fz but that doesn’t mean the stuff around it can’t be quiet. I feel like average players play everything mf. Try to create an “story arc” to the whole excerpt. Decide where is the beginning, the rising action, the climax, and the ending, and show it to the judges. Exaggerating dynamics will help with that. Good luck have fun!!!

[@cgnotes]

solid advice

[@GarIicClove]

This is probably the best advice I got from someone other than my private teacher. I will use that "story arc" trick in future pieces.

[@botanicalyuuchan]

Hey, wishing you all the best. I think you sound wonderful and will probably do just fine :D
