So how’d that musical experiment work out for you?
Pretty well!
We got a good response on Wednesday, a lot of laughs.
I think we were all a little amped up at first, and I was off balance when I got out onstage, finding I was pinned a little too close against the wall, and my shoes had some weird sticky substance on the soles that made a lot of noise whenever I moved.
I didn’t know whether we could pull it off, how people would respond to this simplified trombone musical thing. But I’m happy with it, and I’ll likely try it again (which is how I know I’m happy with it).
We find out late night tonight if we get to go on again tomorrow for Best of Week. I’m writing this now in case we don’t make it (I know I’ll be disappointed). I want my future self to know that it was a success and that I should do another one next year!
UPDATE: Hey, we made it; best of week! And Saturday’s performance was so much more relaxed and easy; happy!
