Amazing, the best concert I have ever been to

Last night I went with Katrina to a concert featuring our school’s wind ensemble, the top wind group on campus. It was simply amazing and definately worth the $3. Every time I heard the horns it sent wonderful chills down my spine, they were gorgeous, hitting high notes like they were nothing! The balance was … almost perfect, and all the musicians looked like they were having a lot of fun.

The concert made me double realize how much I miss playing my horn. Sitting there, I could only try to imagine what it would be like, what it was like to be in orchestra. I really miss those times when we had powerful songs that I actually had to practice to try to get right. I miss playing so much I have dreams about my horn. Last weekend I actually did pick up my horn to play at church to practice with the brass band. It was depressing to say the least. My jaw has moved at least half a centimeter and I’ve gotten rubberbands since the last time I played, everything was so hard. I’ve never had that feeling before. I find it harder and harder to play as my jaw gets worse, but I’ve never picked up my horn and not be able to play at least the c scale with ease, usually it can come so naturally, but I really struggled even to hit the high e which should be easy for me T^T I hate my underbite. I can’t wait until surgery…
