Sports, Hobbies & Recreation
Sure, movie night is fun and relaxing, but there are seven days in every week. It's time to spend one of them doing something that doesn't involve a remote control and popcorn. Find a sports team, learn to play an instrument, or embrace the great outdoors. Commit to get up, get out, and get going!

Finally connecting the trombone tight enough for the bell section to not fall. Yesterday i had my second trombone lesson. it was also my first time in band because my friend convinced me to go. Not much to report :)"View my Commitment

First I had to try learn another song, 'From the Start' by Laufey for the jazz group i'm in. Then I had like an hour break watching TV. Then I practiced my first piece from the three, 'Storm'. I need to get it to 208 BPM which is really fast for me. So I'll just be using the metronome, slowly increase speed. I'm at 100 BPM so far. I didn't practice the other two pieces today but maybe later today. It's hard cause I have jazz on Monday which is also when i'm doing strings, piano lessons Tuesday and band on Wednesday when I do trombone. Every two years there's this competition called fanfare and the strings AND orchestra do it, so I'm in two performances. Luckily fanfare is just a day before me and my family go away for a week so its lucky timing. Sorry for the rant guys. I'll make a seperate commitment for my trombone stuff. "View my Commitment
