I realise that yesterday's post wasn't exactly informative! Having committed to posting everyday up to Christmas is proving quite a tough ask, especially since I have had quite a hectic weekend.
Saturday I played with Croydon Brass Band for the switching on of the Christmas lights at South Norwood ~ yes I did play, rather than the full band it was more a case of "Members of the Croydon Band" we were a bit short of basses so rather than conduct I played and had to rely on everyone following. I think we played well and sounded good. The Mayor came along as did the local Councillors, the MP must have been occupied elsewhere!
I was also hoping for some photos to share ~ maybe before too long they'll show up.
After that I went for dinner with some friends, staying over so I could have a glass or two. The morning was filled with a rehearsal before dashing up to town for the Orchestra concert. With all the running around and work I've been doing I have started to make mistakes. First of all on Saturday I forgot to pack my dress for Sunday, then much worse when I got to the orchestra run through before the concert I found I didn't have my music, I had left it at home. A frantic dash home and back I arrived in time to play, but was a bit flustered which never helps.
Yesterday's photo was taken in the pub straight after we played ~ I think everybody else was a bit shy of having their photo blogged.
I often wonder if anyone is reading this, I write it then send it our into the ether and just hope, so it was a real joy to meet a reader last night, she had come to enjoy the concert after reading about it here!
