Horn Workshop Day 1
March 31 2006
So today was fun! I woke up around 7:15 to call Tyler, he didn't pick up but saw that I called and got happy. I succeeded. 
I then went back to sleep. So after Abby crawls in my bed for like 5 minutes from the house keeping lady waking her up, I decided to get dressed, pull out the silent brass mute and warm-up.
We went to the workshop and got all registered, that was fun. We found a practice room, where Matt and Abby played duets.
I was called to do the contest 2nd. I think I played well. I missed the first high Bb, but came back with the 2nd one and played it very strong. Abby and Matt said that it was better than the girl who went before me and played. I didn't make finals, but that's ok, I wasn't expecting to. Everyone who did was from Texas.
What did Abby and I do next? Exhibitions! Omg, it was fun. I played on Alexanders, Paxmans, E. Schmid, and the Alex Wagner Tuba. OMG! Wagner tubas are soooo fun! The Schmid was pro'lly my favorite custom horn that I tried. I baught something really cool for Tyler, and a CD with a Vienna hornist playing recital stuff. I'm going to have to go back and get the thing I got for Tyler for myself also, it's amazing. I'm going to get a new hand guard also. From getting the flipper put on, I had to cut up the one I have now so it slides around sometimes.
We went out for lunch, it was good. We went back to hear the opening recital. The Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse did an amazing job. (We ate dinner with them.) There was also a lady who played an Alphorn and it was cool! But yeah, after that Abby and I went to a class on natural horn. It was great, we're both wanting to buy one because they were so fun. Matt went to a lecture on horns used in film music. The principle horn player from the London Symphony was there (from when they recorded all the Star Wars and other music) and played excerpts and told stories and stuff.
We went to eat a this really nice place. I had authentic gumbo. The waitress was uber slow and we missed the first half of the concert. Speaking of the concert...holy freaking cow! Gail Williams and the other were amazing on Konzertstuke (sp?). Gail seemed that she was having a bad day, but played amazing. She has this presence that is like...don't mess with me.
So we're now at the hotel, being all lazy. More tomorrow!
