I'm still around.
Just not much to write about.
The semester is well on it's way, which means my schedule is boringly consistent. Teach high school rehearsal, teach private lessons, go to my rehearsals, Earthquakes away for a few weeks. Bored.
I have felt that neat feeling lately, the one that fall is approaching. The smell, the feel, the aura in the air, it's on it's way. I love the heat, but I'm ready for some rain. But more than that, I love the feel of fall. The sun still beating down, but the air takes on a brisk, sharp sense. There's something about walking from my car to my house and noticing the air is just... different. I guess there is just so much going on. Wind, brisk air, colors changing, leaves blowing around, it all comes together to create this feel that summer is coming to a close and things have started dying. And I've never felt so alive...
Someday I'll figure out how to put it into words. Actually, no, I won't. It's better that way.
Hmm...
Might be playing principle in one of the Symphonys' Halloween Concerts. Doing the Simpson's Theme, as well as The Composer is Dead, with lyrics by Limony Snicket.. Should be fun.
Other than that, it's boring season.
Go go go go go go go go go STOP. Repeat.

I'm still half way through the run of Antigone and it's going fairly well. I think the musicians and the actors have finally made peace with one another and with me. I don't feel the urge to murder any longer.....just injure.
Are you doing marching band with your high schoolers? THAT was how I always knew it was fall when I was growing up. When the band uniforms got checked out and the permission slips started flying around. The Halloween Concert with the symphony sounds cool. I wish our local wind symphony would do something like that. I think they're doing something Gershwin-y in October.... random!!!
Take care and enjoy that pre-fall weather!
