sooo I haven't really been using this as often as a should.
I think I'll take advantage of it with this piece though.
Which I'm already finding frustrations with...haha
I think I've decided to change this piece from concert band orchestration to a string quartet (2 violins, cello, bass) and piano. However, I'm still finding it really difficult. But I'm going to push through it, because I think I have some solid ideas.
Tonight I did some work on the main part of the piece, and I'm going to try and have most of the main part orchestrated by Friday. Fingers crossed!

Performananananance

This was really fun.
Everyone that I worked with was really flexible and they were all fantastic musicians. As I stated in the last blog, I was a little worried about the fact that I made several last minute changes to the music before the performance. However, after tweaking it a few days before the performance, (and the fact that I worked with fantastic musicians...did I already say that?) the final performance of it went off without a hitch! I couldn't have been happier. Thanks guys!
