Symphony of Innocence

Zelda got up and took the harp music. Isn't wasn't too hard as far as she could tell. She'd definitely played harder from memory before. She smiled as she set her music down, ready to play when they started.

Allen stood slowly and took the piano music. He almost had a heart attack when he saw it. So many notes... He read through the music a few times. There was no way he was going to get this on his first try. While the others got their music, Allen started practicing the harder parts. He'd need all the practice he could get.

As soon as Tamaki recieved his music he started looking it all over. It's challenging, he thought as took out a pencil and started marking everthing he could find in the music, but it's managable. As soon as he finished marking in whatever he could he then turned around in his seat and started yelling to all the other first violins all the things they should watch out for in their music and what positions to shift to in certian parts. as the first chair player, it was afterall to take charge of his section.

Kaname glazed over his music for accidentals, key changes and position shifts. he found a few in each part of music and he fingered his instrument and wrote in each challenging fingering. Once he finished he turned around and siad to his section, "Fingerings are coming back." Kaname glance at Zero to see him practicing his own music before he slowly turned back around and looked on his stand partners music while he waited for his music to come back to him.

Normally orchestras would take 4 minutes to sight read, but given that everyone was taking this time to figure out their parts in a full orchestra for the first time, Tyki gave his students 10 minutes to look over their music. Once the time was up Tyki held his baton out and said, "Alright guys let's try Barber of Seville first." Tyki listened to the rustle of papers as everyone prepared for their parts and readied their instruments.

Once all eyes were on him he counted off at a medium pace, "1, 2, 3, 4..." the orchestra began and Tyki listened intently as he followed everyone's music in his score. as he expected it was far from perfect and it seemed that intonation and rhythm was lost the farther away the players sat from him. He listened to Allen on the piano and criticized his playing the most. Not too bad shounen but you could be a lot better he thought as he turned the page and kept the orchestra going.

After about 45 seconds of the mess of the song they made, Tyki put his baton down and waved his left hand for everyone to stop and said, "Alright low strings, lets take a look at that introduction again."

Tyki worked with the violas, cellos and basses for a few minutes, trying to get them to hold their rhythms dow with the correct notes. However at least one player would mess it up and they would have to start over. Once he felt that they had it good enough he held his baton towards the winds and said, "Alright winds let's hear you guys, start off where you come in. ready? 1, 2, 3..."

The winds began their part with an overall decent sound quality but he could tell they were far from perfect. He waved his hand and lectured them, "c'mon winds check those notes again. It's da-da-da-DA da."adding extra emphasis on his beats that ne knew needed work, "you need to get this down because you're playing the same thing the firsts are. try it again." Tyki held his baton out and started the winds again and listened intently for their sound quality

Allen waited patiently by the piano for Tyki to finish with the other sections. They were certainly taking their time, but it wasn't like Allen needed to go anywhere or do anything right then and there.
