Dinner Theatre/Practice

The Dirby Dinner Theatre was great fun. Two concerts both sold out. For you Arkansas guys it was much like the old Vapors in Hot springs. Today was a travel and practice day. My room mate and I did tuning exercises for a while and then workd improv patterns in every key. Scott would play the pattern and I would repeat. We kept it in tempo and moved up by half steps. We put in a couple hours on that. Then we got our song list for tomorrow and ran through 30 tunes. Our show changes every day so we don;t get bored.

I have become a much better instrument repairman out here too. When your horn breaks you have no choice but to get it going. My alto fell out of the stand 3 days ago. It still is not perfect but will get me through until I get to a repair shop. Luckily our section leader Kevin has a great repair kit that he loaned me.

Tomorrow we don't leave the motel until 4:00pm FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
