Memorial Service

My conducting lesson went fine. I have some solid things to work on for next time- a direction to take. For example, I am not going to try to learn the Britten in one swoop. I will learn it in sections.

I received my rolling bag yesterday and transferred everything immediately from my backpack to the rolling bag. So excited. Plus now I can use the microphone pencil case my soon-to-be mother-in-law gave to me. John helped me go through the things I should and shouldn't put in the pencil case. I am sure he thought me asking for help was strange, but I will try to bring everything and get frustrated when it won't fit. He's a good filter.

Today I had an ACDA workshop about 35 minutes away. I went to two reading sessions and two workshops, plus got to meet some area conductors. It was a good, solid day and I have some ideas for music from one of the reading sessions.

I really think having that extra GA position takes up enough time to make me feel like I have very little of it. I'm okay with this because it's great experience and decent money, but I would like to really find a groove over the next two weeks.
