Last night at band....

Nope, not band camp, but (with a bit of gentle encouragement from my husband) I took a chance and practiced with the Denver Concert Band last night. The band is in need of associate members (semi-permanent fill in types) for the Summer Concert Series in the percussion section, and I was recruited by our friend, Tricia. I had a great time and even managed to read some rhythms accurately! Reading music for mallets will take more time to dig that skill out of my head (I haven't read music since my freshman year of college...some 13 years ago...and rhythms since my junior year). I also have no chops, but hopefully it will come. The best part is that they welcomed me back and it appears I am "in" for the summer concerts in late July and August! Thank you to Chuck to pushing me - I don't think I realized how much I would enjoy playing (albeit not too well yet) again. More to come on this newest adventure! :)
