First rehearsal tonight with the North Suburban Symphonic Band. It was really fun and I am so surprised how everything was coming back! Two more rehearsals and then a concert! It feels really good to have just gone on a 'wim'. I literally got home, read the invite email, and jumped in my car:) Anyway, off to bed...just wanted to write to say this is exciting! I also sat next to this other nice girl-we're going to get together and play duets together.
Playing wise: High notes were really coming. I can remember in college it being so hard to hit the notes. Now, they're just coming almost effortlessly (I have been practicing with more air). Rhythm is still the biggest issue. Tuning, not so much an issue. Playing the rhythm needs the most work.
I spoke with the conductor of the group. He's a horn player and knew my old horn teacher. He said sitting next to him in the opera and ballet was like sitting next to a machine. He was always on and 100% accurate. It was cool to hear that and talk with someone who knew him.
