Moving Complete

Hell there,

Moving is mostly complete I can begin to re-focus on practice for the recital. But, not too much before four rehearsals and a performance with the Utah Wind Symphony on David Maslanka's Symphony No. 9. Which as it turns out is the Western Premier which is pretty cool.

It's hard not having the time to practice right now because of moving and working. But I have been planning a ton. I finally got an email back from the accompanist that I wanted for my recital, he's on board. So right now waiting for two more pieces of music that haven't come yet to finalize the set list. I've even laid out the stage setup to scale. Partially because I'm a little OCD about things but mostly because I had to make sure that it was going to fit into the space that I intend to use. I don't know why the school insists on the percussion department, the one department with the largest instruments, using the smallest recital spaces. There's always a way around, just gotta find the loophole. ;)

I have been eating better for the most part which makes me feel better overall. The practice and workout routine become more bearable as I do it more. There are a lot of reasons not to continue, a lot of excuses, but I don't have any other choice but to succeed at what I've set out to do. I can't fail because the only one I'm letting down is myself.

It's time to work out some more stickings for the Concerto. This piece is a monster of a piece but once it's done it'll be one of my proudest moments. Technically the days are longer right? Well at least more sunlight which means more time to work out the kinks in the performances. Here we go!
