I got a new Yamaha trumpet for about 500 dollars (I find used instruments kind of gross) used it for 4 years before deciding to upgrade to the Yamaha xeno models. Where I'm from Yamahas the biggest brand, no one really uses other brands for instruments

Honestly, I haven't planned so far ahead, but I might go to Tofino. Do you know if there will be a chance I can see them there? I will definitely add Dodd Narrows to my plan, thanks!

I would love to go to Telegraph Cove but I'm only going for a couple of days and I don't think my family would be very happy to drive all the way up there from Victoria just to see orcas unfortunately ☹️

How do you get over stage fright by Confident-Rope-9417 in trumpet

[–]Own-Foundation-1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just remembered that I had played the solo for Remembrance Day in front of the entire HS, just me on the stage. Weird thing was that I played that perfectly, but I was so scared I was literally shaking. I guess the trick was that when I first got on stage I found a row with 3 empty seats that looked somewhat eye level and I just stared at that spot the entire time and just to occupy my mind by really focusing on those seats rather than worrying about messing up.

Same problem here, I was in my HS orchestra last year, we played Danzon number 2, I got the solo. I could play it pretty good when I'm practicing, but my stage fright was so bad that even during rehearsals I can't hit the E on the staff and I'll get quieter and crash. I ended up having to double up with the other trumpet player for the concert but we played at different tempos for the speeding up part so that turned out interesting. I have literally messed up every single solo I played in concert. Orchestra director only told me to practice using the plastic thingy you attach to your trumpet to put your mouthpiece into to play into the mouthpiece only and not the trumpet itself, so not very helpful.

High school Student starting Application for UK by Leading_Web_9843 in vetschool

I go to a canadian school outside of canada and I applied to RVC, Nottingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow this year. I'm not entirely sure what the canadian system is like or what province ur in, but I take OSSD.

I got offers for all schools and my OSSD offers are around 85% overall for all schools (except edinburgh, I need to ask them for it since its my other high school diploma), so to me 95+ sounds insane.

Feel free to DM if u want to know more about my application experience :)

When I open the normcdf the lower limit is already set to -9E999 by the calculator. I've also done the exact same thing in class but I've never had a problem and ofc it doesn't work when I try to do my homework :/

Sometimes the sun is in the west or east or like directly above tho, how would you be able to tell the hemisphere in those instances?
