The annual orchestra!

Currently I have a violin lesson at private music school. And at this music school, there is a orchestra concert once a year. Almost all of students who learn playing music instrument gather up and consist a temporary orchestra. This is great. Because I’m just a amateur player, and people like me can not have so many opportunity to attend a orchestra event unless they try to join a bigger orchestra. Usually bigger orchestras (even if they are also amateur and charity )have audition to join them. So, it’s a pretty great opportunity for me!
Two years ago they had a orchestra concert, and I attended it. Last year they didn’t organize it, but this year they’re going to have it again! This year the concert will be taken place in July. Yeah, we don’t have much time for practice. And since we are just students, we can’t gather so often … I wonder is it really ok for the concert?! ^^;)

And last Saturday we had a second practice.(first practice was already done in the end of April ) This time we had almost all of the member except for few tube instruments. This year we are going to play…
Figaro’s marriage(Mozart), Suite No.2 L’arlesienne(Bizet), a few more little pieces, Pirates of Caribbean, STAR WARS!
Classic tunes are kind of ok to play…but STAR WARS…it’s pretty difficult. I wonder why they chose such a extraordinary difficult tune! I’m in 2nd violin part. It’s still better than 1st violin, one teacher told me. 1st people have to play unbelievably high position, and most of their sounds are erased by tubes and percussions. Fiouu, am I still lucky!? At first I really didn
’t like to play this tune, but the more I practice it, the more I like it! Of course I cannot play perfectly, (my teacher said
“even professional people can’t play correctly”) but little by little I think I‘m improving myself and it’s pretty funny!! And behind my seat, there are percussions, so my sound is sometimes erased by them but thanks to them I can feel free to play!!! Hehehehe!! ^^)
We don’t have much time for the concert, so I’m practicing those tunes almost every day. I’ll do my best!!
