We had heard that there was a Christmas Orchestra put on by 2 stakes here. It is small so they only asked me to play baritone. P will sing in the choir. We got in because of meeting people at the Stake Choir which we got in to because Brother H mentioned us when it seemed numbers were low. All this is to say that there are people who would really like to sing in the choir and we are lucky to be included.
I've been practicing over the last month and tonight I finally feel like I sound good. I'm looking forward to rehearsal on Sunday to redeem myself after 2 kinda bad rehearsals. My chops just aren't in great shape and baritone was never my primary instrument. But it's sounding nice.
We plan to do a Tuba quartet for interlude music on one of the performance days. I am working on transcribing the Tuba Christmas book so that I can play the Euphonium 1 part on the tenor horn. I don't have the chops to play those parts on baritone.
I went on the class field trip to Burrit on the Mountain with L today. He had a cough, but he had a good time. I kept him home yesterday so he could be ready for today. But the cold and smoke from the cabin fires made it hard. I'll keep him home again tomorrow and maybe Friday. We'll see. It was nice to see his classmates and see how he does have some difficulties because he gets upset by the other children's behavior. And they were doing annoying things... I'm glad I got to see that context.
