I've Never been to Band Camp so Don't Even Ask!
I joined the Community Band. It's a lot of fun. There were only 7 of us of there on Sunday but it was fun. I play flute and my friend also plays flute so it's awesome. We're going to rock! As soon as I relearn how to play. We all had to play our Concert Bb to tune. I was doing well until I had to play by myself to make sure I was in tune. Suddenly I couldn't play Bb. I kept looking at my fingers and my friend showed me the fingering but I was still wrong. It's was embarrassing. Finally I played it and it was right. Argg. I think my right hand slipped down a note. But I got it after that. I think I did okay for not playing since 1996. We have some really interesting pieces and it's going to be lots of fun.
Abby is massively teething. I bought some Orajel so she can have some relief. For a little while I thought it made her sleep better at night. Last night did not prove this theory. So I had a cup of coffee in the morning and I was okay. I had court today and it went long. I didn't get a lunch break until 2:30 so I had another cup of coffee at lunch. I'm a little tired now but it's all good.
Abby is stuck under the piano bench so I better go.

It's exciting that the Community Band made your blog!! (*tee hee!*) I totally get the fingering thing, though. If it makes you feel any better, I did that my THIRD year of university with the bassoon. Of course, I was just coming out of a concussion right about then (K and I had been in a serious, serious rollover) just a month prior, BUT... we were in Octet practice and the other bassoon girl had to show me and I barely remembered. I remember my professor looking at me expectantly and this huge awkward silence from the group as I tried to grasp things I'd learned two years before...
My point? I still think about it, but I'm sure no one else does. 'S'no big deal!
