PRACTICE

Last night the concert was great. A sold out house of around 2000. We spent all day on the bus today. Studied our charts , (there are 400 in our folder), listened to music on our MP3s, read and took naps.

Tonight we rest and the next two days we practice individually. There is a guy in the band here named Kevin Sheehan. Not only is he a great sax, flute and clarinet plyer but get this. He can transcribe complete jazz band charts of grade 5-6 without the use of any musical instrument. He only needs 1 starting pitch and he is off. UNREAL!!!!!! He writes out every part note for note by EAR!!!!!!! I told him today he is not normal. LOL

I hope all mine and Flat Stanley's 2nd grade buddies are doing well. Stanley had a rough time in the rain today. He is catching up on needed sleep tonight.
