So my Mom and I arrived at noon, got registered and settled in to our practice room and readied ourselves for practice. We were introduced to a gentleman from Colorado Springs Co. who composed and arranged two of the pieces we were playing. Also a local team the gentleman who composed and his partner who arranged one of the pieces. They were young and the tempo indicated "in the style of coldplay". lol.

The concertmistress is a member of Disneys wedding performers, and is very talented. I sat in row 2 as far to the end as I could get. Im the least experienced member. We practiced, took a break, practiced some more, had dinner, practiced even more. Finished at 8pm and drove the hour home. It was so much fun! I participated in my first ever sectional meeting. They were so nice, told me what the bowing rules were, that I should lower notes that I couldnt play an octave so I could play. Basically, not allowed to just sit and stare or admire the other performers and theyd figure a way to keep me busy.

Im recording the concertmistresses solo tommorow, she just stood up during the song which threw me off, so I watched and she just wailed and jammed her solo, I was gobsmacked. So passionate, I thought it was great. And to be that close. I had a wow moment.

Anyways, pretty tired now- Pfish.
