subtlegreyThis will be my first time performing in a concert with basically no home practice.
Flute choir concert this afternoon, I'm on alto flute for all pieces. The little bit practice I got in was 3 or 4 weeks ago on C flute (prior to being reassigned alto). I've attended 2 rehearsals the past 2 Sundays, and today's concert is going to be recorded for submission for next years' National Flute Association Convention.
No pressure.
Life and life choices got me here. Hopefully, talent and luck will get me through!
I'll be fine. The pieces we're performing are lyrical, many are variations on folk songs. Pretty harmonies, nothing particularly technically challenging (there is always tremendous challenge in those subtle aspects of music that even international award winners strive to improve). I'll know I needed more practice and *I* can tell I'm out of shape, but thankfully this is flute choir work, not solo work! My fellow players will help cover me!
Rin has been sick, coughing up both lungs and his liver. OTC meds didn't help, Rx meds didn't help. Even with us sleeping on different floors of the house and me wearing earplugs, his coughing keeps me awake. I am TIRED. And he's so exhausted and sore it defies description. :(
He's not coming to the concert for fear of a coughing fit during the recording. My dad and grama are planning to come, though. I didn't bother telling my mom; they have enough going on with her post-op healing. No one else ever comes, but it is a long drive.
