Hi @Former-Member, it was a good rehearsal, my William Byrd is improving, and so are the English folk songs, and listening to the Khosidl "Yiddish Dances" has given me a better idea of how bouncy and bright that work is. Paul, our conductor suggested the recording of it to listen to on YouTube. I did a half-hour rowing workout (I'll bump the resistance up quite a bit on Thursday) and then had a bath, shampooed and conditioned my hair and beard, put on beard balm beard butter and oil, combed the hair and, put a change of clothes on, got my trumpet and walked to rehearsal. I got there with 20 minutes to spare, so I helped the stagehands set up by putting out the merimbas, tubular bells, timpani and kettle drums and the cymbals. Then we had a 2 hour rehearsal straight through, I thought I was going to have a few minutes rest because my lips were getting tired, but that didn't happen, they weathered it quite well, though I won't practise tonight, but my jaw isn't tired at all. Anyway I'm home now, resting and thinking about dinner.
