back in the band

I went to a town band rehearsal for the first time in ages this evening, and it was good fun. Without those rehearsals once a week I don't play trumpet nearly enough, and I don't get to play interior lines at all. In that band I'm strictly third trumpet (there are some egos there) so it's pretty much all interior lines for me, but I don't mind it a bit: much more fun that way. The only strange thing is, it's been so long since I had to play low notes with any volume, and phew, it was tiring after a while. It's kind of shameful, actually. I should practice more maybe.

So many worthy goals, so little time. Or effort, perhaps. But I'll do better, really!
