HOORAY!! THIS IS MY 100TH ENTRY!! This time it is for real! At last, after years i have made 100 entries! I know there have been those writing blocks, and all the bad stuff that happened like the false 100th blog which was actually the 100th comment. I am up there with the big bahooties now!! Oh, and I forgot to celebrate the 200th comment (i am currently at 210) too, so this can be the comment’s belated celebration as well. anyways, I just thought you guys might like to know.
200th comment:
Congratulations. All of that extra practice singing at the piano has really paid off! I just hope you don’t end up going on tour to NYC with a rock band like your big sister. Seems dangerous.

I was close, but sadly, I will most likely not be going to all state. Usually you have to get a score of 14 or lower. For each section they give you a score, 1 point for either no errors and sometimes 1-2 errors. (depending on how much room there is to make errors) Then it goes up to 6 points in some parts, and 8 in others. I got 18 in my audition because I got 2 points on my chromatic scale (i made errors descending) and then I pretty much bombed my sight-reading. I got a 4 on my first one (mess up one note and you pretty much mess up the whole thing) a 1 on my second, and a 5 on my 3rd. Otherwise, everything else was ones!! That’s good. I was 4th best in my chorus class. One boy got a 12, another girl got a 13.5, and another got a 17. The boy and girl with the lowest scores have tried out for things like this before, so Mrs. Pence was very proud of me. Other people got 25s and 21s, Which mrs. Pence said was also very good. She had to enter every score for all the middle schoolers in a computer, and she said that many schools with a more experienced choral program had kids making 40s! I think the highest score you can get is a 48 or something. Hopefully next year I will get the chance to try out again.
I know that this is a little out-dated, but I thought I would show Eric the similarities. I’m sure you all know about the Brookwood Parkview rivalry. This was an article I found on AJC’s website. Parkview and Brookwood are like twins. The rivalry between the two is legendary, and never fails to make the front page of the newspaper. Anyways… Here it is.
BROOKWOOD 35, PARKVIEW 14: Broncos in a rout!
Pittman, Curran lead the way
Carroll Rogers – Staff
Saturday, October 1, 2005
A year after being shut out by Parkview, the second-ranked Brookwood Broncos showed Friday night just how dangerous they can be with a little speed.
They moved David Pittman from receiver to quarterback, welcomed blue-chip running back Cameron Smith from Meadowcreek and voila, a 35-14 thrashing of No. 6 Parkview, the most lopsided Brookwood win in the rivalry since 1990.
“This is the best team they’ve ever had,” Parkview coach Cecil Flowe said afterward. “They’ve always had good teams, but now they have speed at two spots; that helps them.”
One spot is quarterback, where Pittman rushed for two scores and passed for a third on a 74-yard spiral to P.J. Katz. No. 2 is running back, where Smith rolled up 118 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. He outdid Parkview back Caleb King, who got most of his 103 yards after the game was decided.
Ask Pittman, and the difference Friday had more to do with emotion. Teammate Greg Mercier, a backup offensive linemen, lost his older brother Thursday night in a car accident. Mikey Mercier had played on the 1996 Brookwood state championship team.
“We had a loss in our family, our football family,” Pittman said. “So we came out here, and we played strictly for him.”
Emotions of a different kind always run high in this rivalry, and Friday night’s Brookwood celebration left Flowe upset after Broncos fans poured onto midfield, where the Panthers meet at the stenciled “paw” after the game.
A Brookwood fan wandered into Parkview’s huddle and called out Flowe. After the third time, Flowe interrupted his talk and followed the fan across the field. He said afterward that he’d had words for the fan, and spoke to security about him, but Flowe eventually came back to the huddle.
“He walked up a third time; you reach your limit,” Flowe said. “[I told him] ‘If you’ve got something to say, say it right here.’ He was drunk. I could smell liquor on his face. . . . I’m trying to run my team.
“Somebody needs to control a guy who’s drunk and disorderly.”
On the field, though, Flowe knows his team was outperformed. “They whipped us,” he said.
Brookwood held the Panthers to 173 yards of offense, including 50 in the first half. Quarterback Patrick Witt was sacked four times, twice by linebacker Rennie Curran. Curran was a huge factor in limiting King, too, and was still up in King’s face on Parkview’s final series.
A 62-yard pass from Witt to Steve Esmonde set up Parkview’s first score nine minutes into the third quarter. But Brookwood answered with the Pittman-to-Katz touchdown to take a 28-7 lead.
The Broncos followed that up with a 55-yard punt return by Patrick Moran to score their third touchdown in less than six minutes.
“We’ve been waiting for this game right here,” Smith said. “It’s just another game . . . on the way to the state championship.”
With the way 6-0 Brookwood looked Friday night, that’s a hard point to argue. Parkview (4-2), which hasn’t lost more than two games in a season since 1998, has some things to overcome.
For starters, lineman J.C. Brignone — the Division I prospect who moved in from Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina — broke his left arm in practice and is out for five weeks.
Tomorrow is my All-State audition. I am very nervous. My audition will be at 10:30 tomorrow, and I am auditioning as an alto. I am resting my voice right now. We will have a long drive tomorrow, and I have to be there 30 minutes early. Wish me luck!!
Today I found out some most excellent news! I made it for Honors Chorus!! I also will be able to try out for Allstate. I have found out more info on allstate too. You go through 2 rounds of auditions. In the 1st audition (it’s the hardest) you must sing a major, minor, and chromatic scale. Read 3 simple lines of music (according to Mrs. Pence, but I don’t know, sight reading may be my weakness). Then we do Tonal Memory (they play 5 notes, you sing them back), and a piece we memorize. The next round is a “breeze” (quoting Mrs. Pence). If you make it through both rounds, you will go to Savannah for 4 days and nights, and practice with really good conductors and the best singers in Georgia. I don’t know if I’ll even get through the first round, but I think I’m gonna try, just to say I did it. I don’t know much about honors chorus. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
Yesterday was the 1st soccer game of the season. I am back with the team I was on the season before last, playing U14. There are a lot of new players that came, but a majority of them are in the 8th grade at my school. We had a lot of the girls come from select (really advanced soccer, kinda like travel ball), so our team is pretty good, it balances out because we have some girls who have never played soccer, or only played it for about a year. This saturday, we had a game at 2:15, but coach wanted us there at 1:45 to warm up. We had to leave early since the game was in down town Atlanta. It was about a 45 minute drive. The game before us ran on longer than expected, so we only had 10 minutes to warm up. The game went great!! Coach put me in defense (which I normally don’t play), where I didn’t have to much action at all, because I was at like, the last line of defense (next to the goalie). we were doing a real good job of keeping the ball up with the offense. In fact, in the first half, our goalie didn’t even touch the ball once and we scored 3 goals. There was this one girl on our team though, and she is really good at soccer. she asked the coach to take her out because she wasn’t feeling well, and it was hot. The ref. wouldn’t let Coach Tim sub out though, because we hadn’t had a throw in on our side of the field with us throwing it in. She wound up crying and they had to take her out. She could not see anything at all and wound up fainting and hitting her head on a tree while she was sitting with her head in her arms drinking water. It turns out she had a fever over 100 degrees. She should be able to come to the next game. Coach will be sure to take her out whenever possible. A police, fire-truck, and ambulance had to come. We had a really long half time. Coach said we did better in the 2nd half. We scored 2 goals, and the other team only had 2 chances on goal. I played Inside Right Mid. (You’ll be able to figure this all out when I have a chart with the coach’s playing positions up), which is still defense. I got to play a little more forward, but there were no chances on goal for me. the final score was 5 to zipparoonie. I can tell this is going to be a great season.
[NOTE: This was written on Saturday. I just didn’t post it. The day I posted this was Monday. Coach burst our bubbles. Those are all new U14s, so most of them are in 6th and 7th grade, and they only had one practice before this. Oh well, I still say we’re good… although we had trouble beating these U12 boys in a scrimmage. That says something…]
The 6th Harry Potter book was good. I am shocked at a few things that occurred. A few things that I had been expecting to happen happened finally!!! Over all, I liked the book, and I am trying not to give away SO many things that I am bursting to talk about, so if you haven’t read it, PLEASE hurry up. Oh, I have a code for something that shocked me in the book a lot.
Synvkesiew suws~~
Hah, lets see you crack that!! Well, I would have a lot to say if I could reveal all the secrets that lie within this book’s pages, alas, I have decided against it.
I am really excited about doing chorus this year. We have it for the first time. Today we were doing voice testing for the girls. It was to see if we were sopranos or altos. Well, not I only was I able to sing the lowest in my group I went to sing with, I was of the highest with one of the other girls. We can sing the highest in our class. trust me, it’s not pretty, but it is in tune at least. She said we can work with that later. Anyways, the other girl and I (who said she had no singing talent at all, but I think she was saying that in case she sounded bad to other people) in the group “were on pitch” the entire, and we might get to be in honors chorus, which is like, a county (state?) wide chorus. We were not the only ones in the class, just the only ones in our group of… 5, but some groups didn’t even have one person to do Honors. I have to go in early on tuesdays and thursdays to work with her, and later on I would like to try out for Allstate, which is much more competitive. You have to audition by yourself in front of judges, and it is international i think. I don’t quite remember, but i am really, really, really excited.
