i went to TheBallParkatArlington Ameriquest Field at Arlington with Kev, today courtesey of his free vouchers. it was hot. it was Texas hot. Twins won in extra innings, which was fun for me.
i came back and crashed, but enough about that, here are some recent happenings.
i had my jazz audition for lab bands. i was pretty relaxed going into it. on the two-octave C scale i cracked the top note, but i think i've done that each time i've auditioned, so i'm not too worried about that. i made it up to F above high C before cracking F#. i'd practiced making it up to G, but it didn't happen, but whatever. F is still good, and i'm not going to be playing lead. i sightread well. there were a few mistakes, but i just plodded on (like you're supposed to) instead of dropping beats and measures (like you aren't supposed to). i played a few choruses of a F-concert blues. i was told i sound better than the last they'd heard me, which is good and got asked to come back and play the improv audition tomorrow (today (sunday)). i'm super excited for this, because it's the first time i've been asked back. i have a feeling that lab band is going to be good this year. i have a feeling a lot of things are going to be good this year, but that i will be super super busy.
