Powell River, Day 10

Today is the last day before HST intrudes the BC province. That'd mean getting tea at coffee breaks would be a little more expensive starting tomorrow. :-(

It is an eventful day today. Intense rehearsal for percussion ensemble concert in the morning. Boy, I thought I was awake when I arrived at the complex. But when I played the first piece, I realized I wasn't. I played terribly (at least in my perspective)! Good thing we were able to rehearse that first piece again. I hate this though; I hope to play well at all times.

I spent some quality time with my snare drum during the time when I was not needed at the orchestra rehearsal. It felt great to have practiced some rudiments. Sad reality is, when will I get to do this again? I hope to make this more of a regular routine, you know.

Harp concert came after the rehearsal. It was enjoyable. After dinner there was an audition workshop. Since I've been in auditions before so I know a lot of the stuff they talked about. I would have to mull over some of the career goals vs. reality things they mentioned though. Well, I have been mulling over them repeatedly, and even more so now ... Music is indeed a tough business, but I would not let this gift (that God graciously gives me) be wasted. I hope to keep this attitude until I die.
