pbe concert

well, the concert went pretty well in some respects. the performance was really shakey on the fearless leader piece but everyone seems to agree that we came together on the last piece, 11/25/05. that piece is a really simple modular piece that has three sections with the middle being the most contrasting of the two surrounding sections. the greatest moment was when i ended up finishing the piece. something i have never done before. it was the unwritten oboe solo that was finally realized. hilarious really. but everyone seemed to like it. i have never ended a modular piece before because it always sounded kind of weak in rehearsal when we'd done it in d.i.e. in the past. i guess i've grown as a player so it showed in the performance. i hope that paul will have a recording of the concert up so you (and really so that i) can hear the piece.

i stole this pic from paul's blog because i like it and it's the most recent one i have of me and my friends.
