If music is the food of love, play on.

I found this quote on my Chipotle cup tonight and found it fitting. BTW, for those of you astounded that I still have not had Qdoba, I still haven't, but definitely will once I make a trip back up to Broad Ripple. So since my last post, I officially am an intern for Bands of America / Music For All. My first official day is tomorrow! I am very excited. I worked the Sound Check at Lucas Oil yesterday and had a blast. I worked both the event level and the pressbox for the event. I was able to practice plenty but keep forgetting to post online. Here it goes:

I had a wonderful practice session on Wednesday that I was able to practice for the longest that I have been physically able to. I probably should have warmed down a bit more after that one though. I also had the issue, like the rest of the Freshman Horn Awesomeness, of Anna interrupting and causing the loss of focus. It is comic relief and that practice time could be for the worse, but it did get a bit annoying. I have attempted to keep absolute focus during my practice sessions, but I can only have fairly short sessions if I keep very focused; however, I seem to improve much more in those short focused practice sessions. I was very glad that I worked on Prague and Mosaico today. DeRousha lit a fire under many to bring up the work ethic, so I practiced these just to make sure I was confident. I was actually sight reading Mosaico when DeRousha was gave us the speech, so I was very scared. I am excited to begin my internship tomorrow and have Freshman Horn Awesomeness!
