Here's a more recent picture.
This was taken two weeks ago on our yearly prom.
I'm on the left. The guy in the middle is a Civil Engineering major, and also sits on the VUB board. The girl on the right is a Com Science major, and is vice-president of the social council this year.

Nice purple tie there

Where did you get it?

Yer, and then you run across a break in a run before going up high again. :smile:


Agreed but support from the diaphragm is still needed.


Well being a cornet/trumpet player myself I am not going to say anything but with Jazz you need to forget this problem and play louder. A clarinet will never match a trumpet but in the right range it can be hear and still sound great (unless you have some people that play above Top C :rolleyes:).

I play the flute, and the problem with high notes is different. I *can* play louder and get the high notes quite easily, but it isn't so clear, and does screech by a a bit.

I'm not so clear on my clarinet or Trumpet knowledge, but i think the flute goes higher than both (although not lower) and for really good tones on the high octave (3rd and 4th) you do *not* need power. You need very good ambuchere control, especially for flute.

I've never played in bands or chambres before.. too intimidating i must say :frown:

The computer science girls in Brussels are indeed much more beautiful then those here in Ghent...Sure, there will be those exceptions that confirm 'the rule'

@Marlon : It should have been more specific. The girl studies COMmunications Science, not computer science. I know quite a few lookers in the comp sci department though. I believe that this year there were two girls that started comp sci, one who was quite beautiful, whilst the other one is not al that feminine if catch my drift...

@Bladibla : Tie Rack. It's Italian silk, but we got a good deal on it because we bought several. Purple is our faculty's colour, and the guys from the Scientific Fraternity decided to all wear the same tie.

@Evo : :blushing:

Being a newbie on the forums, I'll give y'all a glance at me. I should note that I maintain strict observance of the laws of thermodynamics in my office:

Yeah, what kind of a remark was that :bugeye:

He probably was blind-sighted and never actually noticed she was also smart besides pretty :wink:

Maybe if we put it in context...

Communications Science is a typical major for people that want to go to university but have no clue what they are going to do, only that "it shouldn't be too hard...". The cliché is, that there are a lot of beautiful girls in that major, and that they aren't all that smart.

The cliché is, I must say, well-deserved. There are A LOT of people studying this, so statistically you have a bigger chance of getting beautiful girls. And most of them are, well, not the brightest crayon on in the box (stop me if I'm screwing up metaphors).
Imagine my surprise then, when I meet a girl from that major, who answers to the cliché of being pretty, but who contrary to the cliché is actually extremely intelligent. I'm sure Marlon was in on the joke.

There, doesn't sound half as bad when you put it in context, does it?
Can I go and play now?

I think the surprise is that a Communications major could be smart, not that a woman could be smart. Communications is sort of a pseudonym for basket-weaving majors. :biggrin: :-p
 
here is the latest version of this thing I use as a face !
