And Friday is like Saturday, and it is E flat major

I am having such a fine day off. My favorite day in the world is Saturday, and this week I get two of 'em!

I just put in 54 minutes of practice. Did:

• Warmup - good high notes, my scale was E flat major (forgot where I was in my progression of scales)
• Worked through the Student Symphony commissioned Sinfonietta part and gave feedback to the composer, Thomas Reiner
• Did Hansel and Gretel - in tenor clef, of course! I am feeling better and better about my ability to read tenor clef.
• Hexenritt. I like this piece.
• Tiny Mahler part. We are supposed to really rock on our little three-note spot (as in, LOUD), so I want to hit that every day.
• Berlioz through Rehearsal Mark 54. Pick back up here at 55.

I want to get through all the music today, but I look at the clock and my busy schedule - gack! I don't know how. Must return to it tonight. And I don't think I will even begin on my midterm exam today - gack! How can I be so busy on a day off!

Now, I am off to pick up a print from the Pop for our silent auction, and then to arrange for Squirmo the Cat to move downstairs with me for awhile ...
