BPU Day 28. Three day weekend!!!!!

We played Hansel & Gretel, Hexenritt, Batman and (they) played Mahler tonight at rehearsal. (We didn't make it to the tiny trombone part in the Mahler.) I did not play too well, but for some reason it did not crush me tonight - I KNOW I can play better and I haven't played for three days, and I have a THREE DAY WEEKEND coming up in which to practice like a maniac.

I think the best thing I can do is play at least 1 1/2 hours a day for the three days coming up. I'm meeting Jack on Sunday to work on our material, which is good as I can take detailed notes of anything that is a problem or that I have questions about. Then we rehearse Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (morning). Perform Saturday and Sunday.

I also really need to touch every single piece every day. Wow, I don't know if I can do that very effectively in 1 1/2 hours. So much to play, so little time.
