Out of the frying pan…

Now that drum corps is finally done, it means that I can jump into my fall activities– namely chorus and band. 

God, I sound like I’m back in high school!  Who do you have for first period English?

Anyway, chorus started last week (so I got almost a 24 hour break with no commitments), and band starts tonight. In concert band I play first trombone and am kind of the default section leader. And in the gay chorus, I was just named the section leader of the Bass section.

Yaaaaas!  Moar power!!

  
In addition to normal band concerts, I may see if I can’t get into more musical composition and arrangement.  Possibly for brass choir. 

Then in gay chorus land, this is the year of the GALA– a festival every 4 years in the making where choirs gather in a designated city and sing for each other. This coming spring the Gala is in Denver, and the Minneapolis chorus is one of the select few who will be performing a special concert.  What we will be singing is the premier of a commissioned work based on the gay novel “Two Boys Kissing”.

So, lots of activity on the docket.

Looking out, it’s almost daunting. Especially given the fact that I know that Minnesota Brass will hound me to return next year for their 70th anniversary season. 

Now, if only I could find time to go on a date.
