World Percussion Ensemble Audition...

Feel very disappointed today... I just had an audition for the World Percussion class. I think it went bad. They were playing a piece in 5/4, and with all the key changes... from E to Eb to B... I got lost. When asked, I said the piece was very hard for the harp. I figured I said the wrong thing. There were 2 teachers, and they said that, well, that's for me to figure out. The piece was not written specifically for the harp, and if I wanted to be in the group, I should be able to function in the group. It made sense.
Well, I fucked up.

I think I should all the more be in the group to be humbled. But, my guess is, I won't be able to make it. If I didn't, I'll still take it as a lesson well learnt. If I wanna be in a group, I should function in a group. I didn't know making that statement would have another implicit meaning like that. Well, I'm just dumb, I guess. Ignorant.

With that, I'm going to work harder this coming semester. I think I'll really have to figure out a lot of things on my own and not depend on the teachers to teach me. Like - changing chords.

On a more happy note, I'm done with comping. I don't know what lies in the next semester, but at least, I'd want to be in the dean's list for this semester. Things can be much easier, depending on what I want to achieve at the end of the day. I can take easy subjects and pass with flying colors, or take difficult subjects - struggle and improve. I dunno man...
