    BOS stuffed it again. they noticed before reading time, again, but handed out studies of religion papers instead of extra writing booklets at my school. Same one the paper 1/2 stuff up happened at

    anyone plannin on doin a distinction course next year

    As one of the people who did Business Studies, it's a BIG cop-out. someone did the course 6 weeks, and I did 1/5 the night before. (admittedly, neither of us got band 6s, but it was in year 10...). Much easier than doing commerce, and we bludged most of the time without a teacher. Fun :D

    styles, tone etc

    Could you rewrite it as a speech? Or is it too late to change text type?

    Can't Practise!!

    i'm through the worst of it now, but for nearly 2 weeks i haven't been able to play at ALL, having massively painful glandular fever. i'm making things worse for myself stressing about not being able to play/practise with performances only 2 months away. Does anyone know of situations where...

    Beta blockers

    I know there are a whole range of things you can use to cut out the nerves. Some inhibit your memory a bit though, so research well before you pick one.

    HSC performance pieces

    best to do an australian composer. The topic has an "australian focus" so, while you can do music from other composers, you should be able to clearly relate it to the topic. If you do one by a chinese composer, make sure you link it to all the australian composers who've been inspired by that...

    Anyone else have written a script which has required no research????

    I'm doing a radio play, so I'm listening to Airplay on Radio National, and searching out radio dramas. Then drawing comparisons between my own, and those ones. only difference for me is that I haven't written it yet.

    HSC performance pieces

    argh... there's no time left! Summerbird it is... *suddenly realises how little time there is left and faints* and I still suck at technical.

    Can I?

    what i'd *like* to write I wouldn't have _any_ of the teachers read.

    HSC performance pieces

    ah... I might see if i can find another piece reeeal fast. already scrapped ignition and taxi. Summerbird is my least rehearsed at present. *dies* Kennan is hard. So that's where most of my work has gone... apparently the hummel 2 is hard, and few people play it, but I think its easier...

    HSC performance pieces

    On trumpet: Core - Summerbird, Alan Holley Ext. 1) Kent Kennan's Sonata 1st Mvt 2) 2nd Hummel 3) "Quartet" for trumpet, double bass, clarinet and violin by Sydemon. The other guy doing ext. on double bass is playing it too, so we'll be marked at the same time.

    I hate Rove

    He's found a formula that works. I can't take much of it, but clearly, other people can.

    Extension Music Ensemble Pieces...

    If you need a trumpet, I'll play and I don't know if you know Ben, but he's just moved to Coffs from Melbourne, I believe... he could too I guess. *doubts the likelihood that you'll play a piece needing 2 trumpets*

    Injury - A place to Rant

    Rant here My knee's screwed, and will need arthroscopy and a reconstruction for my ACL... can't have surgery while I'm doing HSC or I won't be able to play my trumpet properly - that's the idea anyway. have ranted about this to everyone else, so rant to me, because you're probably worse off. :)
