Powell River, Day 9

Went through some emotional ups and downs today ... Hai~

I wish to not have gone through all these roller coasters while trying to focus on playing good music, but it's part of life. How can I move forward with my life with all these distractions? Trust in the Lord, and He will give me strength.

Anyways, we played Der Rosenkavalier this morning. Oh boy, my legs felt like jelly while I was playing, and they still felt like jelly afterwards. Even though I have not played this excerpt much after the VSO timpani audition 4 years ago (it's 4 years already!?), I was so thankful that I learned it. Thanks Bill for giving us very detailed suggestions on what to do with this excerpt. It answered a lot of my questions. :-)

We watched World Cup after coffee break because two of the Spanish percussionists begged for that. LOL ...

After that, nothing too exciting happened. I must say the rehearsal was quite boring ...
