I'm hoping you'll see this since you're not really talking to me and I have so much to tell you....
Rehearsal went extremely well...It wasn't at all as bad as I expected. I wsn't struggling as much as I originally thought I was going to. Yeah, I hurt and am debating a really really hot shower and some icyhot, but I played better. Bill gave me a compliment on posture/breathing stuff. He had to ask me to stand up straight and was surprised he didn't have to ask me again. I had to play for Larry today and it was ok....more air as usual. I need to work on intervals, long tones, and dexterity stuff he said. I'm still not really sure what to think of him. I think its still a bit too early in the season to make any sort of judgement. I have this funny feeling he could be a lot worse, but i can tell he doesn't put up with shit. I came back to arc after lunch and he pulled the "let's take a walk" I thought I did something wrong...nope, not yet. I stood next to Anthony and it made me feel special. Anthony says he hopes you get yourself drunk and die in a car accident in regards to the hat idea...lol. He did his whole "i'm pissed in a joking way" thing. Oh yeah, another funny story. Professor Martins dropped off and filled out paper work for his son today. I tried hiding myself which worked for the most part until rehearsal actually started. He definately saw me. I had to go outside right before lunch ended and he was with Wazzie and Josh Conover. I gave the acknowlege smile and walked outside going "fuck i'm so dead. fuck fuck fuck." Interesting, but I'm expecting a speech either tomorrow after rehearsal or during my lesson.
Andy said he did pretty well. He thinks he did better on the harder exercises than the easier ones. Andy also said that Professor Martin's son was bad...oh well, we'll see how things turn out. You know that flighty girl who was standing next to me last week at rehearsal. She kinda complained about the whole holding of the baritone and was definately having just as many issues, if not more than I was. Well, walk in today....she's playing contra. I'm a little confused and surprised. I don't want to say "we'll see how long that lasts" but...seriously. I don't know. She took one home, so maybe she'll practice and get better. Anthony laughed when he saw it.
That's it...just wanted to let you know. I feel really proud of myself after this rehearsal. I know I'm accomplishing something and accomplishing it well, not half-assed. I put everything into this rehearsal and I'm more than happy with what I got out of it. I know you like analogies....
