Time for rehearsals!

Wow.. so I went from practically not having any rehearsals set up, and not having all my players. To having EVERYTHING set and all my players... this all happened today.... yes.. I've been busy texting and emailing. It's going to be crazy madness for me the next two weeks, but well worth it.
Time to practice and rehearse for my life!

Oh.. and I made this for the fun of it: This would be "horror" genre for my poster... And no.. I won't be posting this one in the music department... It was just for the fun of it.

Aaaallllllllllmost there!!!

Soooooooo close!
I added pictures this time... just to have something to look at. And since the title does have some reference to sailing, I thought it apropos to put in sailing pictures! Go figure...

Poster break!

Took a break from composing and got a necessary thing done... the recital poster! I hope to do a few, but I won't make any more until I'm done composing. I just wanted one done so I could email friends and family to let them know about (those who already don't, that is..)

I only make bets when I know I'll win...

So my recital is coming together... but really.. I need/want to end it with a chamber orchestra piece. So I started one and brought it to my lesson on Thursday... My teacher liked it, and asked when I was hoping this would be performed... to which I replied, "My recital." :)
He's eyes got slightly larger and said something to the effect of, "The one that's in a few weeks!?"
"Yes.. I can do it..."
"I don't want to sound pessimistic here, but I don't think you can..."
"Oh yes I can.."
"Finish it, get all the players, rehearse, and have it ready for your recital?"
"Yes."
"..That's in a few weeks.."
"Yes."
"I feel a bet coming on!"

So he's betting $10 against me that I can't do it.. And one of the other students in the lesson got in on it.. so that's $20 now. So if I finish this, that's $20 for me.. but if not, I loose $20.
When I told my brother about it, he said I should have bet 2:1, cause the odds are against me. *Shrug* I've never bet before.... kind of new to how it works.
So anyway!!
Here's the start of it. Please forgive the midi playback.. it knows not what it does.

Here's the end result of my interview with a student journalist from school:
