Google Day 2
Having finally decided on Ours, (Alena likes the piano part, Megan likes the song, I just think we need to get started) we spent some time writing out the treble clef notes so that Alena would be able to read the music faster. Unfortunately for us, almost all the notes were below the staff and Megan and I play flute. We don't really read beyond a few notes below the staff...
 Eight pages later, we realized that it was Kelly's music and she probably didn't want us to write all over it. Oops. Sorry, Kelly. We used the piano a bit to help Alena learn her part and she soon had the (extremely repetitive) pattern down. Everyone else who was in the band room with us, I'm sorry you had to hear the opening chords to Ours so many times. We asked Mr. Matthys to photocopy the music for us so that we could all practice at home and he kindly obliged. Now (hopefully) by next google day we'll have a better idea of how our song goes. Then Megan said that there was harmonization in the song so we spent the rest of class trying to harmonize. Read:trying. It was actually really funny... but anyway, we suck so that's going to take a lot of practice. :) It was really fun though, and I felt that we were pretty successful.
