Boo, rain.

AH! I don't like rain.



It has been raining all day. I don't like rain! It's all cold and nasty. Good thing I have my big rainbow umbrella to keep me dry!


Friday's symposium went well. Mike had me play parts of the Strauss concerto for all the brass kids showing that it doesn't take long to "get good" if you do everything correctly. I went and worked with the horns for a little while, we talked about hand position, understanding parcials, tuning, and worked on some music. Calvin and the brass quintet came around 11:30 and I got to hang out with him. He's so much fun :) and the tuba player is just as cool. They played some of Handel's Water Music on horns made out of plactic tubes, funnels, and their mouthpieces, it was really funny. That made my day. Not fun part: cleaning up the auditorium and bandroom. I later went home for some Chinese food. :-)


Saturday was fun, I went and got my haircut, hung out with people, and did really boring stuff. Jersey Mikes makes me happy. Today I had an MYO rehearsal. Sadly, MYO is really boring and if it wasn't for the concerto competition, I would probably quit. I guess I'm just not feeling the music. Oh, to be in Curb...


Tomorrow will be my first horn lesson of 2006. Yay! I think he will be pleased with how the 3rd movement sounds. I'm excited. I will also get to see AJ for the first time in 3 days. He works too much.
