Rehearsal last night was just okay. Lisa Burn, principal cornet in TBB, came and did a sectional with my cornets which was much needed. They just need to hear things from another person sometimes. We can play one of our pieces, Canticles, very well. I feel comfortable putting that in front of people now. As for the other piece, Haydock Variations, I am not quite as comfortable. There are about 40 measures that are just not gong well for us and it's because it's hard. We only have 2 more rehearsals to get it together so we'll see what we can do. I'm really impressed by how much the kids have improved though so I'm confident it will get better.
Off to do some practicing. My next audition is in June for the Milwaukee Symphony. Hopefully it goes better than Buffalo. Peace out.
