So Wednesday we had the shortest rehearsal pretty much ever.
It was graduation music which I have a love hate relationship with.
BUT THIS YEAR WE ACTUALLY GOT THE MELODY!
Usually the poor forgotten bassoons get the upbeats and it is extremely tedious and usually by the second time around you are praying that everyone will just get to their freaking seats so you can stop playing this god awful tune.
But this year we actually got the lyrical beautiful part that everyone knows.
Sure some parts were slightly high but after years and years of having the most boring part this was a welcome relief.
So suffice to say I was actually excited to play at graduation.
A little tip for all those that have to play pomp and circumstance.
The trick is to bring the tempo up a few notches and with the faster beat everyone walks in faster and you have to play it a shorter amount of time and less times.
I mean it makes sense but if you needed something to make it so that you don't have to play that 4 million times just play it fast and everyone gets there faster.
