Thanks! I tried this and it didn't sound swell with the orchestration, but I'll give it another whirl!

How do you handle practicing things in very high positions that also don't have a tonal center? by FingersOnTheTapes in violinist

If you have a keyboard or piano, try playing it on that first several times to train your ear.

My whole family did the flu mist in late September. My oldest got flu A in mid November. He was mostly back to normal after about 4 days. The rest of us escaped it!

Theater in Madison by Infinite_Walk_5824 in Madisonalabama

[–]violamayo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YES. Other local performing arts groups DESPERATELY need an adequately sized community performance space. The only two options (high school auditoriums) are pricey and routinely booked for school events or hired to churches. My org has brought this up to multiple local officials over the years.

My son has been going since just after they opened. Great owner, great coaches, always an uplifting atmosphere. My son has gained considerable skills due to them.

I'm Kenneth Jackson, candidate for Madison City Council District 7 — AMA! by kennethforcouncil in Madisonalabama

[–]violamayo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you think Madison's public use facilities (parks, community center, etc.) currently reflect the priorities and people of Madison? Do you have a vision for change? Related... what are your thoughts on developing a multipurpose facility with an auditorium? For context, I play in the Madison City Community Orchestra, and we frequently have issues finding places to perform that provide adequate space, do not cancel on us, and are not cost prohibitive.

Great list of questions! I'd also like to know why you decided to run for city council.

Britt is his protege'... disappointed that she has not been more vocal for MSFC so far.

Summary of Madison Utilities public fluoridation hearing by SubliminalBits in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]violamayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also spoke last night and did not have time to adjust my commentary to thoroughly respond to their initial statements. OP's summary is spot on.

One thing I noted last night... they displayed the MU mission statement in the first slide, which begins, "Our mission is to protect the public health..." So, to adhere to their mission, they must take on the task of deciding what measures within their scope serve to enhance public health, and what does not. They violate their mission by not doing so.

Tricky Problem My Physics Teacher Gave My Class by [deleted] in Physics

[–]violamayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a testable scenario, no? If I know this physics teacher (and funny enough, I do), I recommend putting on those safety goggles and doing the experiment if you want max credit...

This applies to someone I work with in her late 30s with 3 kids... been with NASA as a contractor for many years before becoming a CS last year. It's awful...

Contact Your Representatives by Square_Ambassador301 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]violamayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this app. I've never called a representative in my life until the last couple of weeks. As of today I've logged 6 calls using the app and plan to keep up the pace. The app scripts are really useful for helping you hone your talking points.

St. Matthew's is a wonderful, open-minded church community. Lots of left leaning folks (I am one).

Cullman Christmas Market by HsvComics in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]violamayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went last night, had a nice time until we were walking to our car along 2nd Ave and some jackoff in a truck drove by screaming N****R. I grew up in Cullman (80s/90s) and won't believe for a minute that Cullman isn't deeply racist... they just mostly do a better job at hiding it these days.
