One time when I was 12, I went to a basketball game. My dad and I had to ride a bus to Milwaukee. The ride there was really boring but I slept through most of it. I read a book so the bus ride wasn't too bad. The bus ride took an hour and a half. At the game, I was excited because it was my first basketball game. I bought nachos and they were good. I sat pretty far but it was still very cool. The team I wanted to win didn't win but it was a good experience. The bus ride home was late so I slept through all of it. It was very fun and exhilarating.

Symphony Movement 1
media type="file" key="li-movement 1.mp3" width="240" height="20" Movement 1: (classical structure) This movement will be in ABACA rondo form. This will have 2 strong beats per measure. It will be in 4/4 time. This movement is bass heavy featuring a strong beat. The first beat of the measure represents the first bounce of the ball on the ground. The second beat represents the sound the ball makes against the racket. The music escalates as the game progresses.

Symphony Movement 2
media type="file" key="Movement 2-Li.mp3" width="240" height="20" Movement 2: (slow and soft) This movement will be in 4/4 time. This will have a beat that gets quieter as the measure goes on but is revived at the beginning of the second measure. I think this represents the way two players might slug a point or game out. It feels slower and less defined. The use of synths and electric sounds added to the undefined effect I was aiming for.

Symphony Movement 3
media type="file" key="li-movement3.mp3" width="240" height="20" Movement 3: (light and dance-like) This movement will have a lighter beat but faster tempo. This will be like volleying where the ball moves faster and doesn't hit the ground. The changing beat represents how the game gets more and more intense. As well, the rhythm gets more complex as the movement progresses. I used piano music because I think that can be used to play light and dance-like very effectively. This is in contrast to the electric sounds in Movement 2.

Symphony Movement 4
media type="file" key="movement 4.mp3" Movement 4: (Return to the beginning) This movement begins like the first and is similar throughout the song until the ending. At the end, I use a bass loops and end on a less dramatic ending. This is like tennis because sudden upsets are not common.
