Practiced last night like crazy.

Honour Band this weekend. Performance was phenomenal. Dr. Richardson blows my mind with her ability to take 100 of us and make us into a great band in two days.
It was a great experience to play with 5 tubas instead of just me, it was quite a change. Working with Dr. Richardson i s a constant challenge, for she never conducts a piece the same way twice. For the second time, Honour band has been an incredible experience that I got a lot out of, and truly enjoyed.

The clinic where we worked with a music teacher who plays tuba was very enlightneing as well. He pointed out things that Ive never even considered before, and gave some amazing techniques to improve embrochure, range, etc. Without the difficulties of wrong notes (usually) and poorly played rhythms, the band comes together in a way that has amazed me twice now.

Im very glad I went, it was a wonderful experience.


I believe we played for a total of 50000 gajillion hours though.
