For Uncle Dave
The Black Hills symphony would actually play the music for us at the Music Memory Competition. What we would do is every 2 minutes they would play a song and we would write down the selection, Major work, and Composer. For example, Autumn: Third Movement would be the selection, The Four Seasons would be the Major Work, and Vivaldi would be the Composer. Also for Uncle Dave, I didn't win the actual competition I only won a perfect score medal, which is hanging up with my other ones. It was actually a four way tie for first for the fifth grade.By the way, we got our tests back from the competition a couple of days ago. The only question that one of my team members got wrong was instead of second movement they wrote first. But they did have an excuse: they had had the flu for the two weeks before that and hadn't been able to practice at all. Still they did pretty good for not being able to practice.

It still amazes me how you can write down the selections after only hearing less than a minute of a song. That is something that you forgot to mention in your post is that they do not play the whole song, but only a short part of it and it can be from anywhere in the song. I am very proud of you John. Love, Mom
Hi John,
That was a much better explanation. I thought it might have been somehting like that but I wasn't sure. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.
