Jesse Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Okay, by request, I'm making a topic about...me. Yay? Hmm what's going on? Well on saturday I went to my first marching band competition. It was kind of fun, actually, and to make it more interesting a huge raincloud stormed on us for a few minutes, making us all huddle together and getting our uniforms soaked just before our show. Today I'm going to an orthodontist appointment after school. But there are only a few more months left in the teeth-perfecting process. That's all for now. I have to eat breakfast and, well, go to school. See you all later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 To show you what I've been up to, here is a modified version of my character Luke from my Tomb Raider level. I changed the head so the snout is smaller and the eyes are rounded out. How does this look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Oh yeah, I just applied for university. Yay!

As for Luke, he looks good! I suggest making the head a bit bigger and a slightly longer neck. He looks a bit suffocated. And yeah...physics....not an easy subject, but it's fun though.

Jesse Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ack, everyone in the family is coming over today. In a half hour.

Thanks for the suggestions. Am I allowed to say where I applied? Well obviously Horatio well remove this if not: Sacred Heart University. They have several locations (it's even multi-national) so it seems okay to me. And yeah it is very early, which I like because I'll have the rest of the senior year to "rebound" if I don't make it, and if I do make it, then I'll have the rest of senior year to focus on high school and not worry that much about university stuff until the end. I too enjoy physics and I look forward to when I take it as part of my math major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did your family visit go? It was good. Well, it's the only place we've visited so I can't compare it to anything else But the fact that we didn't want to visit any more schools afterward, should give an idea of our impression of the university. The resources it has are spectacular - laptops handed out every two years to all students, wireless communication all around the campus, battery replacement desks and stuff like that impressed me. They also allow honors freshmen to avoid the freshman dorm rooms and take a suite-style room instead, where the sophomores go. Oh yeah, housing is garunteed four years. The juniors get to have appartment-style places, and the seniors live in townhouses a mile or two away from campus. And NO LECTURE HALL CLASSES! The maximum is 35 students to a class. I think. And there's lots of activities and stuff, there's something happening maybe every day. So I'm looking foward to it. *nods* About Luke: I'm going to shorten the neck alittle, it just seems too big the more I look at it. Maybe make it half the size. I'll post the results since I don't have much else to do right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about being naggy. I need the peer editing, so to speak. How Luke looks to me is a biased opinion because I'm the one doing the changes. I need other people to see if things look practical or not (well, as practical as a character like this can get ) Here is the current Luke. I made the neck smaller and I edited the furs sticking out the sides and back of his head (although that is a bit hard to see in this screenshot).

That's the day after my dad's birthday. Wierd. I still need to buy him something... Well then, you're dad's birthday is the same day as a math team event. Not that he would care much. Being an engineer, he might appreciate that. So far I got him a calendar featuring scenic outhouses (camp joke). I want to see about finding him some lemon cookies or something else he likes too. He's a tough one to get gifts for, because he doesn't play golf and hates wearing ties. What kind of engineer???? Civil, mechanical, etc. ...? In the grocery store are these killer lemon and ginger cookies by a company called Carr (if I remember correctly). They should be in the cookie area, but usually off in their own special section just for Carr products. They make all kinds of crackers, cookies, etc. These are really superb. Crabtree and Evelyn also makes a wonderful lemon cookie. I especially like both these cookies with lemon sorbet. I prefer lemon and lime bars. ^.^ Lemon and lime bars??? Ohhhh, those sound so good. Who makes the best one and where do you find them? krusteaz. 'O' they come in a white box in a grocery store. I'm not sure if they wold be in florida or something. You might hve to come all the way to maryland! But then again, you do go up to ny just for a bagel... Right now Maryland is having some flooding problems, so I will wait. But believe me, I will come to Maryland for some of these cookies. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is done, you poke a bunch of holes in the top with a fork, and pour lemon jello over it. let it soak in, and put it in the fridge overnight. Next morning, put whipped cream on top. SO GOOD!

But I went to a funeral instead. @Horatio: No, usually there's a 3 or 4 step distance between us, so it only gets in the way if the guy behind me is doing bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Figured I'd drop these here for the night. I made some 3-d fur tufts on the back and sides. The thing that's bugging me is the lighting although I'm not sure if I can fix that. But that's a problem for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, the band competition was really cool. I think that if I went to a normal high school, I would have definately been in colorguard. And Steph's band is awesome! They did this Pearl Harbor theme. It was really sad, but very well done. I'll hve to ask if they won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thanks for the compliments. I figured out that the tufts were being lighted seperately because I kind of just shoved them into the head mesh. This time I extruded faces from the existing mesh to make uniform lighting. This doesn't allow for as many sides per tuft because I'm not advanced enough with metasequoia to attach new verticies to a face. But I like the result better either way.

Thank you...but it doesn't feel like I deserve such talk. You guys know I didn't create the game engine or anything, right? I can't even edit the game engine; I can only edit the objects and the environment. (although I WOULD like to learn programming eventually! In college probably.)

I hope you take more than one computer programming course in college. You have a great talent and I think that someone should help you develop it. Yeah, multiple programming languages would be awesome! I'm thinking about Javascript and C++. Javascript because it is very useful on macs (or so I've heard) and C++ because my dad said that would be a great language to know. My parents took a Pascal class, but my mom said that I probably wouldn't like it because most of the time you spend on making useless applications.

Jesse Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Okay I've got some updates to make. Our band got 90.2 at championships, getting 6th out of 7 schools in our class. Our director thought we deserved a higher score and I thought so too, but it was actually fun to do because I put all my energy into it. So marching band season is done. I'm going to try out for regionals on Saturday, it sounds scary because I have to do chromatic scales, some major scales, and play a piece. Maybe there's sight reading too. I'll just do my best and let the judges do what they think is best. I practiced like, an hour tonight. Which is a long time for me I hope I don't get nervous. The wind ensemble pieces are pretty tough too. I hate these 16th-note runs, 32nd-note runs, and sextuplet runs They seem to like to throw those at clarinetists. Actually I guess they're kind of fun once I can actually learn them I have a playing test on some of them on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I always say, have some fun. We will be your cheering squad here and hope the judges accept you into the regionals. The hammie group will say a prayer for you. Another thing that is an interesting thought, your band is competing against other great bands, and I wonder if your band was placed against all the schools in Connecticut, how your standings would be. My guess is that you would be in the top ten for the state! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are these vicious pieces in the music where several measures are comprised entirely of that type of note and it goes up and down all the time. Sometimes it is hard to play all the notes, especially for the 32nd note runs. And usually the music is going at a fast tempo too, just for me... Also sometimes it is tough to go between two particular notes due to the clarinet's fingerings, for example going down from c# to b at those speeds is difficult for me.

Ah, schools are so well organized Anyways, I got a 136 out of 270 for the regional audition, which is ...average. I don't know if I'll get to participate or not. I seem to be on the borderline, so to speak. I got nervous for random spurts but otherwise I was pretty calm. I did the sight reading part really well but the rehearsed piece wasn't so great.

Sounds like you did great. Average is good because these auditions are for the regionals. I hope you make it in! My paws are crossed for you!!! How long does it take before you hear if you made it? The reading part is the hard part so I am thrilled you did well on that. As for the rehearsed part, that was probably the nerves kicking in.

Horatio Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Okay I've got some updates to make. Our band got 90.2 at championships, getting 6th out of 7 schools in our class. Our director thought we deserved a higher score and I thought so too, but it was actually fun to do because I put all my energy into it. So marching band season is done. I'm going to try out for regionals on Saturday, it sounds scary because I have to do chromatic scales, some major scales, and play a piece. Maybe there's sight reading too. I'll just do my best and let the judges do what they think is best. I practiced like, an hour tonight. Which is a long time for me I hope I don't get nervous. The wind ensemble pieces are pretty tough too. I hate these 16th-note runs, 32nd-note runs, and sextuplet runs They seem to like to throw those at clarinetists. Actually I guess they're kind of fun once I can actually learn them I have a playing test on some of them on Tuesday. what are the x-note runs? They are these vicious pieces in the music where several measures are comprised entirely of that type of note and it goes up and down all the time. Sometimes it is hard to play all the notes, especially for the 32nd note runs. And usually the music is going at a fast tempo too, just for me... Also sometimes it is tough to go between two particular notes due to the clarinet's fingerings, for example going down from c# to b at those speeds is difficult for me. 32nd notes=death...and I can't even read music that well. And congrats on National Honors Society! I got into that too, but they didn't tell us until a couple of days before we graduated at our senior awards assembly. Imagine that on the trombone! especially if it was supposed to be... i believe the term is stacatto or something? been a while. xP Even worse would be that 32 note run on a tuba. LOL *imagines just how red the tuba person's face would be* no, trombone, because of all the movements of the arm. jesse meant a bunch of 32nd notes, like, 32 of them in a measure. I think. LOL... I had forgotten about the trombonists arm movement. You are absolutely right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 no, trombone, because of all the movements of the arm. jesse meant a bunch of 32nd notes, like, 32 of them in a measure. I think. Yes. Although I haven't had a full measure of 32nd notes, at least not yet. I've only had two beats in a row and at 100 bpm that alone is difficult for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesus Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 no, trombone, because of all the movements of the arm. jesse meant a bunch of 32nd notes, like, 32 of them in a measure. I think. Yes. Although I haven't had a full measure of 32nd notes, at least not yet. I've only had two beats in a row and at 100 bpm that alone is difficult for me that is still 64 notes. I can't imagine doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 that is still 64 notes. I can't imagine doing that. Fortunately in this case the notes all go in a row (as in, all downward and then all upward), and the clarinet's fingerings make it pretty easy to roll through notes...although the accidentals mess it up somewhat.

Jesse Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Just wondering, what size is your band? The whole kit-and-kaboodle is something like 170 kids (ie. marching band). The wind ensemble and concert band play separate pieces in the concert except for one or two; wind ensemble has around 30 kids and concert band has the rest (I'm in the wind ensemble).

That would be neat, except that the uniforms can reveal where one is living. Plus our band is too large to be shown on camera (at the competitions the cameraman had to keep panning left and right ) So just now I've finished updating Luke with some better textures for his clothes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his clothes, they look great. Oh, I know that we can't reveal any private information, but it would just be great to see the different bands in action. Block all the uniforms and make them black. As for your band, we would need to hire the Goodyear Blimp to video you from above. That way we could get you all in!

That's huge. o_O Our band is like, 85 people. Including the 15 or so in Color Guard. And then the pit of 6. Sheeez, what classification is that, 6-A? I suppose that explains the scores and why it's like so much higher than a usual 2-A band score. Plus we're scored by WBA(Western Band Association), so I guess our scoring is different too. And bigger bands don't have to worry quite as much about individuals. Eh, our band is just gaining popularity, so I guess it'll start growing.

Yeah, I'm scored by MAC so our classes and score methods differ. My band was in class 5 this season; although the class was so huge they had to split it into 5-A and 5 open for the championships.

That's amazing. What was the size of the largest band you know of? Were they also from your state or another? Do you only compete with other bands in your state or is it regional? Is there a way a band from Connecticut could compete against a band from California? I wonder if there are any bands in Alaska? That has got to be brutal!!!

That has got to be brutal!!! I don't know the size of the largest band. That depends on which event you're talking about. In our county I'd say we were the largest band. The competitions are mostly by county. Only once or twice did we go down to southern Connecticut to compete. And yes, sometimes bands cross states - our band went to Maryland to compete, although they had a different scoring system. I didn't go though because of a funeral. Can't answer your Alaska inquiry, I wouldn't know about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
