Well I don't really seem to remember anything except the end. My dad and I were at a school. There were parents and adults everywhere, I think there was about to be a bands concert. While walking, I was kind of in a rush through the hallways. The hallways seemed like my grade school hallways at PCCS like (formerly known as) Halle Hall and the other one. At one point, my dad was sitting down I think to the left and at another point on the right was the auditorium. The entrance to the auditorium might've been like the one to WTHS where it was like a mini garage door (kind of). Except I looked through that and could see that the Symphony Hall was massive and was already lined with audience members. The chairs I believe were red, red was the predominant color from the distance. One guy stopped me, I think he looked Indian (kind of like the food inspector who came into work (at a restaurant) recently), but I don't recall him having an Indian accent. He stopped me and asked if (that was... or if) I had orchestrated Lux Arumque. I said yes, and showed it to him briefly. The score was in my hand. I was going to add, I didn't just orchestrate it, I arranged it... by ear. It was implied I was in an orchestration class and this was the end where we presented our orchestrations in concert with a band. In real life, the collegiate band I'm in has gone through student orchestrations and sight read them all over a two day period. That was pretty much all I remember, it was the very end. I woke up by needing to go somewhere. I didn't actually remember what Lux Arumque was exactly, I remembered it was a beautiful band piece, but that's it. Upon waking up plus a bit I googled it to find it was an Eric Whitacre piece. I listened to it. It's good, but I prefer other pieces of his. October for its slow and somber tone. Equus for the energetic intensity.
