Message: <blockquote data-quote="rs2sensen" data-source="post: 615298" data-attributes="member: 10132"><p>Ive just gotten home from the recital I played at. Overall, I felt it went pretty well. My reed was a bit dry and buzzy, but I was able to force enough air through it to sound pretty good. My horn fragged a couple notes in a run on the last page, which was disappointing, but it certainly wasnt a huge thing. </p><p></p><p></p><p>It was interesting too...I really took note of the fact that once I stepped on stage, I had no nerves whatsoever. It was a sort of serene peacefulness in which I simply enjoyed doing what I love most. For the longest time I would get nervous during any performances, but I think over time as my confidence has grown, that has gotten to be less and less. </p><p></p><p></p><p>On my way home I played a Cannonball Adderley CD that Spencer bought me as a thank you gift for playing the recital with him. I must admit I'm exhausted, but I have a huge amount of school work left to do. I probably won't sleep, but that's ok  <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2064%2064%22%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D%2250%25%22%20y%3D%2250%25%22%20text-anchor%3D%22middle%22%20dominant-baseline%3D%22central%22%20font-size%3D%2254%22%3E%F0%9F%98%9B%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="22" height="22" alt=":P" title="Stick Out Tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />. I wrote to one friend that if you see me wearing this same suit tomorrow, just know that I didn't sleep, that I'll probably be grouchy, and that you shouldn't dare ask me how my night went!  <img src="/x-custom-smilies/w00t.webp"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":w00t:" title="Woot    :w00t:" data-shortname=":w00t:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
