[timyates_87]

fools!!! there is NO OFFICIAL UAI!!!! GAH!! its depends on the competivness of your instrument and course combind with your skills... cause i am so damn good a 59.00 got me in!! if your doing sax for the jazz course its damn competetive so your looking at high 80's it completly depends!!

 

[ur_inner_child]

i've passed tim yates so many times at the con and i'm still coming up of ways to completely freak him out.

 

[timyates_87]

[brassedoff]

GAH!! trumpet_geek wishing she was a string player?!

*falls of chair*

whats goin on mate?!

I was a string player. I was 4 years old. I threw a tantrum about practice, many times. And my parents took my tiny violin away... and now my parents regret it, because I practice my trumpet.

if you want a career out of music DO NOT go to Newcastle Con!!

My teacher finished honours at Newcastle Con last year, and he's in Sinfonia now.

[trumpet geek]

i know two fellas who got in for jazz sax.

one of ems called simon, yeah? hehehe

dude how good were the north sydney boys big band and james morrison!!!! Uh -oh.... i think ujuphleg might get angry at me for going off the topic ... sorry mate

ok um...... er.... yeah im not sure about that comment timyates made on the newcastle con either...... it doesnt matter where you go you can still make a musical carreer if you really wanted to - just because ur at the Sydney con doesnt necesarily guarrantee you a job.

 

[ujuphleg]

I don't mind off topic Joe - I just mind when the thread gets over-run if you get my drift

eg. PAU thread or Con students thread (although I suppose moons obsession with Vanessa was con related....) but yeah you get what i mean.

 

[moon_styla]

nooooo it wasnt an obssesion lol grr! im not really sure wat it was...


and yes it was very much con related

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

^^
SO! whos coming to visit me at the con lib this tuesday afternoon?

 

[soulshine]

hhaha hoshy thats right. one is simon, one is lachlan. jazz man tim, i will investigate further for you!!


(james morrison rocked the kasbah!! yeeeeeeeeeeeeew!)

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

yay thanks
<3 James Morrison.

 

[soulshine]

well, tim, i've done about an 8th of my research and found that one of them got a mid 70s UAI.

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

a mid 70s uai eh? are they a really good sax player??
i need to know how much uai goes towards getting into the course.
i know its the playing that counts for the most, but im sure uai is taken into consideration as well and music marks probably

 

[Bunny04]

If you guys are stressing about UAI Entry to the COn for Bachelor or perf course (like Dip) you dont need to worry AT ALL!!!!!!!!! trust me ^.^
