Johnstown Symphony Concert 5/9

Yesterday's concert went really well. I was able to get through the entire concert with relatively no pain! We played several polkas and marches. I need to continue to hone in on those rhythms and syncopation's. At intermission, the first horn player offered some encouraging compliments and asked if I was interested in playing with them regularly. Of course I said 'yes'. I'm super pumped and excited to have something lined up for the Fall and next year. Also-this is a PAID opportunity and an accomplishment in the right direction. As we sat down to play the second half of the concert, they said, "Welcome to the section". WOO!
