I love the music from the Harry Potter movies. And we're playing suites from all 8 movies! What a fun opportunity!
Another advantage is that I get to visit some old friends. I played a number of gigs as a substitute from 2009 to 2012. I should have been a regular player, in my opinion, since I had 2 chance to audition, but I really messed both of those up, mainly because if ill preparation, but also due to poor attitude. Ugh...what a poor part of my history.
Anyways, I get to play under my old horn teacher at CWU, Jeff Snedeker, who's been principal horn there for a long time. I also get to see other CWU grads there and professors I worked with. It will be great to see everyone again.
So yeah, I have a fun adventure planned for this weekend. I'll leave Friday afternoon and return Sunday, at some point. The weather over the mountain passes will be snowy, so it will make the trip interesting. But, it's nothing I haven't dealt with before...I've had tons of snowy adventures over those same mountains.
Take care and value music.
