Great rehearsal tonight. 3 hour rehearsal - that's long.
I focused on the music. My "neighbors" in the low brass section helped me. I dropped my embarrassment and practiced things I needed to work on during the break, and I played just as well as I could during the rehearsal. I worked hard at staying with the music. It makes no sense to feel so uncomfortable about screwing up among my fellow musicians that I'd rather play it wrong (or not at all) in performance than embarrass myself playing it wrong in rehearsal. No sense.
I'm back in love with my trombone now. Though I still want to get a straight tenor to reduce the weight. I'll be in Washington DC in July and I've got my sights on an instrument store ... but I still love my horn.
