So let's see, what's been going on since my last post....
-Our band concert at the Paramount last week went really well, despite my not feeling especially prepared for it. I did a lot of last-minute cramming practicing the week before.
-I finally finished reading the Real Book vol. II on clarinet. W00t! I know there's a vol. III as well but I don't know if I will get it. See, I figure the more songs I know, the better odds I'll already know the song the audition people give me to sight read. XD But I need to work on the songs I want to record and/or memorize now plus scales.
-Last night was our first rehearsal with the new band director, Adam. It actually went pretty good. He seems to have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Now we are starting to work on Christmas music; we are doing the Nutcracker suite again, and I'm excited to play the solo in "Chinese Dance" again. :D
-I'm probably playing the Bethlehem Chamber Orchestra's Noel concert as well. Rehearsals don't start until December though so I hope the music is easy. The post card says Vivaldi, Bizet, Corelli and traditional so I can't wait to find out.
I think that's it for today. Cheers.
