I think that tomorrow is solo and ensemble. Hopefully they'll cancel it because of the snow. But if they don't it doesn't really matter anymore. A couple of days ago I was freaking out because of stupid little things but now I'm a lot cooler and my playing isn't suffering. I'm going to go in their tomorrow and do what I can do. If he likes it's fine if he doesn't then that is fine too. I'm just going to go in their and do my best. I think I have improved a lot and I'm proud of my self because of that. There are still a couple of things that I'll be cleaning up today before tomorrow so hopefully everything will go well. Yesterday I also received the All County band music. We are doing some pretty dumb songs like wizard of oz and stuff like that. Like I've said before all I care about is county jazz. I'm not that good of a legit player. Also on Thursday I was given the music for the school musical Guys and Dolls. I'm little afraid about doing this musical due to me not believing that I have the endurance to play the entire show. There are about 30 or more songs.. I'm going to be the only trumpeter playing so I also have to play all the solos and all the parts were the 2nd trumpet has melody. Not only that but a lot of the songs like Havana go all the way up to the limits of my range. So it's really going to be a challenge. I have a couple of months to learn all the music witch I know I can do.. but I'm still not sure how I will handle the endurance thing. But it will be fun because a lot of the songs are jazz witch I just love to play. Also for school band we are playing summertime where I have this huge trumpet solo witch should be cool. I have tons of great music to play and practice so I'm really excited. Hopefully this year they let me improvise again in all county jazz and maybe play a couple of solos.. if they don't that's fine too I'll just play section then.. So as time goes by I will keep updating you guys on what's up.
