The Brenckle Family Foundation: Tennis Tournament #1

Since the beginning of school tennis season this year, John and I have grown to love tennis more and more each day. We've been playing for roughly five months now, and it has been great. A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to play in our first tournament, in which we played doubles. Our first round match was awesome, as we got to play another brother team from Timpview High School. As the first set began, we each held our serve through the first rotation, making the score 2-2. However, John and I then broke and held two times in a row as we won the first set 6-2. The second set began, and the same kind of thing happened. When we were up 3-2, however, they broke our service game, tying the set up. We held our heads high through this, and were able to finish the second set 6-3.

The second round did not quite go as well for us. We played two varsity singles players from East High School, who are also brothers. We really couldn't handle the pace of the game, and we went down 1-6, 0-6 to them. They did end up winning the final 6-1, 6-2, so that definitely gave us some reassurance. The results and everything else about the tournament is listed on the page HERE.

Although we didn't win this tournament, it was a great start to tournament play for both of us. We will be continuing to play in tournaments that we can, including one coming up in less than two weeks. Hopefully we can show some improvement in this next one. We will definitely have more posts about these tournaments, and hopefully pictures as well. Thanks for reading everyone!

Update: Drum Recording and Original Writing

In the past couple of months I've acquired some needed gear for recording drums. I started with and interface. I needed something that could run enough mics for my drums, so I got a Presonus Firepod with 8 preamps. Then I got my mics and cords, and with some learning on the audio software, I was recording in no time. Since then I have recorded two full length drum covers with video and audio, and several solos with audio only. HERE is the first cover, and HERE is the second.

John and I have also taken on writing original pieces of music, and we have one piece fully tracked HERE.

We hope to be getting several more original songs and covers out on YouTube, so subscribe if you'd like those updates, and even if you wouldn't we'd appreciate it. Thanks!
