I Survived!

... whether that was Mum and Dad's weekend visit, or the orchestra concert I will let you guess!

No - seriously - the weekend was good and as I was around (rather than at Mum and Dad's) I even (much to DJ's shock) got another ride on Saturday morning.

The concert was reasonably well attended - seeing as the music is very traditional classical music. Hopefully my mistakes weren't too noticeable - altho' the 1st trumpeter did tell me afterwards that everyone was finding the"that part of the suite hard" - so he must have heard the wrong notes ... or did I give it away when i threw my clarinet down and lay down on the floor screaming ... well that is what I felt like doing. Yes - the bit I had worked on the most was where I went wrong ... so maybe I should not practice and then I would get it right.

Still all peace and quiet today - only the accounts to sort out (as treasurer) - and the ironing to do ... which I must start ... an old episode of Andromeda is starting on TV although I suppose it is too much to hope that it is the one with James.

Congrats on the concert. I am sure you did a fantastic job.*hugs*
I wish I was musical, my children are - and they didn't get it from me.

I always get nervous before concerts - and usually injure myself the morning of a concert in some way - which is where I got the nick-name Debris from about 12 years ago ... Don't think the conductor has learnt the other 1/2 of my name!

:) See, everything went well. Things are always easier in hindsight.

Thanks - trouble is, next time around I shall still get myself in a panic - aren't we meant to learn by our mistakes?

How is that thing called? Practice makes perfect? *gg*
Just do more concerts..
But I don't know if it will really help against stage fright.

Congratulations on your concert - I'm sure you did really well and that you're your own harshest critic. I couldn't even begin to get a note out of a clarinet, so am very impressed.

Hope you enjoyed Andromeda - the only ep I've ever seen is the one with James in, but well worth it for those shiny pjs.

Yes - do quite like Andromeda - but James was the best guest that they had - by far!! Not that I am biased at all!!
