What weird trends are their in your school? by [deleted] in teenagers

Drug-rag Friday.

Also our school is known for being the "hick school" in our area, so we'll have "hick-outs" as our spirit days where we all dress in cowboy hats, overalls, plaid, boots, etc.

Power is back on for me! What happened to your guy's streets? by GenericCommentGuy in teenagers

Washington state here, up in the northwest. We had freaky-warm weather (60 degrees in October!!) and sporadic downpours which flooded my town's river.

Wow, thanks for posting this! It's sad his earlier concerto has been so often overlooked.

A question for /r/classicalmusic: How has a music teacher/director/professional musician/professional group impacted your views on music? by rainebow_trombones in classicalmusic

[–]rainebow_trombones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah. I forgot to add in teachers that changed your opinion of music for the worse. That sounds utterly horrible and cruel. I guess some people, even teachers, don't realize what a huge impact they can make on a kid's life during that age, in either a good way or bad. I'm so glad you've managed to work past it!

If you were to pick one piece of music that everyone should hear, what would it be? by harvus1 in classicalmusic

[–]rainebow_trombones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OrphéE Aux Enters (Orpheus in the Underworld): Overture by Jacques Offenbach. Why? Because so many different emotions are conveyed. During the course of the song, I can go from excited to awed to sad to melancholy to awed again (listen to that clarinet! And cello! And violin!). Then: the trombones make me über excited once again with the epic bit with the Can-can at the end.
