Monthly Discussion - March 2014

I'm a bit late, but I do recall what happened last season.
1. I loved playing First Suite in E flat - Holst. We never really perform it in front of an audience because our concert was cancelled, but practicing it was very fun!!
2. Our spring concert was cancelled because a lot was happening (REALLY terrible stuff). It was my first year in a band too, but I loved it. My favorite memory would have to default to my first concert EVER. It was a very nice experience to be there in front of an audience and play for them.
3. Yes, I met a couple of people that I get along with very well. My oboe friend who is a music theory genius and wants to be a composer; my trombone buddy - he's nicest human being you will ever see, seriously, there's not an inkling of evil in him); cornet friend - she's really good and she's nice too; trumpet friend - just recently learned that he also plays french horn, we need him because our F. horn player can't play to save their lives; and percussionist/baritone player friend - she's a great bass drum player, but for some reason, our band director had play baritone for half the concert season.
4. Yup, first instrument - valve trombone. I love it! I wan't really discriminated against for playing the odd man out, but I just like making those kinds of jokes because that's what people would expect.
5. For the next concert season, we're going to play The Planets Suite - Holst. I really can't wait to play this, it's going to be amazing!!!
But for now, marching band takes the stage.
G'day!
