TITLE

Today we did the practicing for the song that cj arranged. It was supposed to be written out in finale for the previous session. There were also several errors in the piece. I also don't like practicing in the practice rooms. I sound awful in there. The hallway is much better. I don't think we'll get to playing my piece. Looks like I'm writing it out just for the sake of writing it out. (Parker Hansen)

Progress (finally) [C.J.]

Ian finally got done with the piece he was supposed to do last week. We got to practice it today and it is coming along. I think we should make a video of it. I also have gotten some ideas for the Zelda medley, but have yet to write them down.

I finally finished righting out the synth part to straight to video and the song cj was writing. This weekend i plan on writing out a new piece for our group but im not completely sure what song i am going to choose yet.

We have decide that another part of our project is to learn and teach paul how to do trombone suicide blindfolded. we has succesfully managed to do it with our eyes closed, but we have yet to use actually blindfolds.

So i am finally starting to create cj's piece on finale. i am also looking through all the music i have and looking for more music we can possibly learn for the concert.

Jeff's google day post number IDK

Today we got together for another Google day and we finally got to practicing CJ's piece. It was very confusing to read and me without a F attachment on my trombone I could not play the 3rd part so hopefully I get an F attachment soon so this will work out. And hopefully Ian gets the piece on Finale thing so it will be easier to read and we can try to play it again.

Today the trombones and Pual tried playing the piece that CJ arranged. It did not go so well. Hopefully things will go better when the music is put into Finale and when we play in an environment that doesn't muffle our sound. (Parker Hansen)

Update

Things are coming along well for me. I have the melody for the first part written out. I still need to work on finding some nice sounding chords that will go well with my piece, and furthermore, where such chords would fit in. (Parker Hansen)

this link is for Phil Collins, so he can work on his part for the arrangement I wrote

Day 2 (Paull Collins)

After meeting today i have my work set out for me. I've found a few arrangements i want to write and i have to start writing out a synth part for a song CJ is arranging. On a positive note i learned trombone suicide today! Now i have to learn how to hold a trombone. Sadly Piers seemed apposed to me playing at the games but... on a positive note i really don't care what he thinks :) All together it was a constructive game!

Second google day post

Dear, viewers
Today we had out second Google day and now CJ has pretty much finished the tobuscus theme song and he just needs Paul's bass line. We also taught Paul how to do trombone suicides which was fun. Now we need to start practicing.

My work so far (C.J.)

As Ian has said, I have finished my first arrangement, a four part trombone arrangement of Tobuscus's theme with an added bass part, and I now plan to start working on another arrangement that probably going to be finished sometime next semester. Its going to be a medley of song from the Legend of Zelda games series (really only Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask). Today we also taught Paula how to do the trombone suicide with the matrix addition, however I have gotten opposition from Piers about allowing Puala to perform it with us at the game.

Ian Second Blog

so far, Cj has now finish the physical writing of the quartet, but now I am going to write it out on the computer to make it neater, and easier to read. Also I have found a ton of quartet music, so i will start to trasnpose that music into four trombone parts and the tuba part for the bass. On a completley different note, paul has decided that he wants to learn trombone suicide, so its time to start teaching him the basics :)

C.J.'s Progress

Right now I am working on the last of the four trombone parts for the theme I am arranging, but I still am not sure what I am going to have Pual do.
