Not for UIL, but next semseter I want to work on the Richard Strauss Horn Concerto No. 2 in Eb. It's pretty challenging, and you have to transpose the entire piece to F.

i did that last year! lol..but my lessons teacher transposed it for me, but this year i'm doing some french solo by like saint-seans or however u spell it..i dont know i forgot the name. my new lessons teacher picked it out for me

I'm playing Ransom by Mark Ford. It's a pretty cool four-mallet solo, but I'm not having as much fun learning it as I did with Rhythm Song...

you had FUN learning Rhythm song?!! haha I did that one last year- it was pretty much a PAIN to learn, gahh :P buut this year I'm doing the first mexican dance.. so that should be cool.

Solo: Mozart's "Larghetto" (Not really looking forward to playing a Mozart solo because I got a 2 on another solo as a freshman)

 

Ensemble: "Praeludium" or something; it's a clarinet sextet or whatever it's called with 6 people in it :)

 

I'm kind of ticked that my band director won't let me choose my solo, but I'm going to practice another one anyway and see if he'll let me do it. I'm a senior, and I think I should be able to choose my own solo when our old director let upperclassmen change their solos if they wanted to. We'll see!

Well, you lost an oppurtunity to become proficient at Eb transposition then.
