Trombones Everywhere!

So Tuesday is officially my "Trombone Tuesday." Not only will jazz band be starting soon (after boys soccer season ends, so October something), but I also have my band lesson that day and then every other week I have my private trombone lessons in Mazo. On the other weeks, I will be in Platteville for a trombone choir that Mike Forbes, the low brass professor at Pville, started this year. Since we've only had one rehearsal, I can't say for sure how many people will be in it... You know college kids, they don't show up a lot. :) But I do know that there will be a tuba to help our lone bass trombonist (who is actually a tuba major), 3 other high school girls, and the rest will be trombone majors or marching band members. I had tons of fun, even though it was a little rough sightreading the pieces. But we are going to have a concert in November. We'll play about 8 pieces all together, a trombone quartet that's already going will play "1 or 3 pieces," like Mr. Forbes says. He also wants a select group of 6 (maybe 8?) players to play a difficult piece, and then me and the other high schoolers to play a quartet! I'm so excited!
Oh, and I have sparkly nailpolish on, just to let you know how epic I feel at the moment.
