It’s been a busy week.  

Last Sunday, I played bass trombone in a Flag Day ceremony with 20 other trombone players.
Monday I had two rehearsals back-to-back, one with an orchestra (bass ‘bone) and the other with a jazz band (tenor trombone).
Tuesday, rehearsal with a big municipal band (bass).
Wed and Thurs, concerts with the orchestra (bass).
Friday, a three hour dance with a jazz band (tenor).
Yesterday, a three hour gig with a different jazz band (bass).

That's eight rehearsals or performances in seven days.

This morning, my face is numb from the middle of my nose to the tip of my chin.

I have today off, but I’ll have two rehearsals again tomorrow and another one on Tuesday.  

With all the playing lately, I haven’t been able to get to the range for three weeks!

You have to wonder which Goodwill she got that jacket from.

And the collar pin looks like some kind of miniature Klingon ceremonial weapon.

No ska band rehearsal?

There's a guy with a set of African drums who sits in now and then with one of the jazz bands I play on.  Very cool sound.

It's fun doing call-and-response improv with him.

And at a Melbourne Municipal Band rehearsal last night, I was approached to play with the Central Florida Winds.  That's quite an honor, I can tell you!

I don't care how busy I am, I can't turn down the opportunity to play with that group!  Nothing definite yet, so we'll see what happens.
