Again, a beer after the performance last night put me to sleep quickly. Nevertheless, I had a blast yesterday.
I woke up really tired yesterday morning, unfortunately. Then I had a crappy (in my perspective) dress rehearsal. But praise the Lord, the percussion ensemble concert was awesome. I am not encouraging musicians to rely on miracles, but when you do your best, God will indeed do the rest!
Orchestra dress rehearsal immediately followed after concert and lunch because we had another performance the same night. When I had my break from the first piece, I found out that we had a possibility to play an encore. Having an encore wasn't a problem, but unfortunately I left the piece of music the conductor asked for at the hotel. So I walked as quickly as I could to the hotel to get the music. Good thing they rehearsed the Mozart Duo Concerto for quite a long time so I wasn't late for the next piece. :-P
The evening orchestra concert was another wonderful event. I was happy that I played my parts well. At least well enough to make the piece sound good. A woman approached me and said she enjoyed both the percussion and the orchestra concert. It's nice to see a supportive and enthusiastic audience!
This morning I woke up at the usual time - around 7:45am. Boy, why is my biological clock so functional, even on the free day? LOL ... I went back and slept for another hour before I got up. Just like being at home, I had to do laundry on the free day. This time it didn't take too long because I knew exactly what to do first - get the right changes before I even headed to the laundromat! I did some reading while I was waiting for my laundry to get done. I also had a few ideas on the lyrics for my new song. :-)
After laundry, I went out with a Taiwanese girl I met at the camp. We went to Tim's for lunch and then walked around the mall nearby. We also went to the beach and had sushi for dinner.
I wish we have two consecutive days off instead of just one ... I can't believe my break is almost over. :-P
