yep. been longer than i thought it would be since my last post. that's okay though, because i really have been keeping myself busy.
Madison trip with fellow boners (hehe):
on saturday, randall, colin, baby matt, and i drove to madison for some trombone education provided by the "nay palm" trombone quartet. despite the longer than expected travel time, it was really friggen sweet. the bass trombonist, once he got going, had the most intriguing things to say regarding auditions. i have it all written down, and will soon type it up, but i won't bore you with it all here. but i will say that i can't wait till my next big audition to put some of his ideas to use.
Things I'm looking forward to:
colin, randall, adam and i are starting a trombone quartet soon. they're all fine musicians and i can't wait to play with them. jeff dahlseng (former UWEC bass boner) sent me some really nice jazz arrangements for quartet that i am looking forward to as well. i'm also in the process of creating a practice binder with various goodies inside. yesterday, i printed out all my excerpts that i will include, along with a list of my goals and the ways in which i plan to meet them. it might sound lame, but it's time for me to get even more serious about my practicing.
Things I'm not looking forward to:
my computer has really been sucking lately and it's time to reformat. i've never had to reformat before so i have nothing backed up. and there's a lot of stuff in random places that needs to be backed up. if my computer could go one day without randomly hating me, i wouldn't go through the pain of reformatting it. but, since it continues to suck on a daily basis, i guess i'm gonna have to.
i guess that's about it. i'm not feeling to creative right now, so if you came here looking for random entertainment, sorry to let you down. i will refer you to www.homestarrunner.com for that. seriously, that site never fails to cheer me up if i'm feelin' down. time to practice.
