NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the wrong trombone mute! Now i have to get someone to drive me to a very far away music store within a week. Gah!
Before the symphony thing was marching band. It was tiring.
The symphony thing was confusing. I don't usually play so many naturals and F sharps. I couldn't play the notes fast enough and couldn't keep up (i'm a horrible sight reader) I was completely not use to it. Usually i play in a key where there's at least some flats but in a symphony it really different. I played much better after break though. I already seen the music and got an idea of what notes to play.
I started practicing the songs and i can play them now. YAY!
Anyways, on one of our songs it says it needs a mute and i don't have one. My band director says i should use a "stoneline" mute. So i went to the far away music store today and got a mute. (i trusted the guy gave the right one) I ended getting a stoneline "practice" mute.
I emailed my band director to ask it i got the right one because i have a feild trip tomorrow. 2 minutes later he emailed me back saying i needed a stoneline "straight" mute!
GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how i feel right now!?!?! I have to get someone to drive me back to the very far away music store before next week! The next rehearsal for _yso is tuesday! *cries*
I didn't even get to play with the mute yet. *cries more*
