  1. Here is the run down:

    Friday: unused school district snow day

    Saturday/sunday: you know

    Monday: memorial day

    Tueday/Wednesday: unused snow days number 2 and 3

    Our school district has an allowence of three days for school to be closed during the winter months if there is significant snowfall. Since we didn't use any of the days during the winter, they are being we get three days off and the three days they gave us off were friday, tuesday and wednesday, as sort of a memorial day vacation.

  2. I have heard very little of Horner's work. But of what I heard, I haven't been really too impressed with. His music just doesn't seem to go anywhere. But perhaps I am making an opinion without hearing enough of his stuff.

  3. I only have heard so many composers, so try to hold back your rage at my choices.

    1. John Williams

    2. Alan Silvestri

    3. Jerry Goldsmith

    4. Marc Shaiman

    5. Michael Kamen

    6. Phillip Glass

    Those are mostly the only composers I have heard. I also have heard some stuff by Zimmer and Horner, but I don't think they're anything special.

  4. I love his music overall, but I especially like his writing for brass. One of my favorite examples is in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I love the theme, which is mainly carried by the brass, and all of the double tounging stuff that the brass players do in In the Idol's Temple. That's just awesome. Sure that's a dumb reason, but whatever. Other examples include: the Superman theme, Summon the heros, and Olympic Fanfare. I love all of the brass parts in all of those songs.

  5. I have only seen the movie once, and I like it alot lot. I did notice when I saw it a few TPM cues used, and the same few bars of music, from the AOTC score, used five or six times during the course of the movie (not the love theme). But I didn't think the editing was bad at all. But I don't know how devoloped my ear for music is, so I could easily be wrong.

  6. No, actually, I hava a friend in New York even as we speak, and he ask me to give him a list of hard to find CDs here  in California, and you know the saying, if it's not in New York, it doesn't exist.

    I could not find "Hook" at any of the music stores near where I live in New Jersey. On my band trip to virginia, I found it and bought it in a Barnes and Nobles in Baltimore on the way home. So sometimes some things are just alot easier to find out of state.
