Today, we MBU banders got our new music for the upcoming Christmas concert! Hooray! It's a medley of Christmas tunes from different Broadway musicals like Babes in Toyland and A Christmas Carol. We also got other music too.
We just had our first concert Friday, October 27. It went well. Dr. Cox threw in a joke or two about the World Series (Game 5 was that night), and all of us in the band were dressed in "concert black" playing the music we had been working on all semester. We had some flub-ups, but I suspect the audience did not notice all of them--at least I hope not! :)
I played the tough Chester overture possibly better than I ever had before, but Black Horse Troop was rough for me. I almost butchered the end--the part in which Dr. Cox wanted to feature the high woodwinds. Hopefully, Allyssa's piccolo helped lessen my rough time.
Anyway, the concert lasted about a half-hour. Everyone then cleared out and, most likely, rushed home to watch the ball game... Excuse me, I mean watch the Cardinals win the World Series.
