*notice – i am writing this post at 10:30pm after a VERY long day. it may not make sense at all.*
tomorrow will be the last show of this week. today i played 3 shows. 2 on clarinet and alto sax and 1 on bassoon. i am exhausted, but exhilarated at the same time. i played well today. i am playing alto sax (something i have never been very good at) reasonably well. and tonight, our orchestra director actually complimented my tone – twice! he wanted to know what i did differently tonight that made me sound so good! tonight, i was in the moment. i didn’t chit chat or let my mind wander. i was all there. and it was amazing! too bad the next orchestra show isn’t until OCTOBER. summer band, here i come!
