As you may have noticed, my frequency of posts declined in direct inverse relation to my acquisition of friends - and a social life! But don't worry, I'm back with a vengeance!
So, let's see, since my last post I've started my program (duh), made a ton of friends, starting playing regular weekly football with some guys from the music department, gotten involved in EVERY SINGLE MUSICAL ACTIVITY I COULD FIND (or create!), started cooking dinner for the masses, gone into London, been up to Brum (birmingham), down to Pompy (portsmouth), across to Amersterdam, and seen a whole lot of beautiful Guildford. I've managed to make myself known to almost EVERYONE in the music department, and am happy that I'm getting to know such fabulous people. Unfortunately, my laptop crashed (like.. 2 months ago...) so I can't upload any pictures right now, but hopefully soon.I'm in music nerd heaven here, playing horn and conducting every ensemble I can find. Here's a quick list of what I'm in -
Conducting the Wind Band, Jazz Band, Brass Band, String Orchestra, Dorkestra and will be conducting something like 5 student compositions for the Joyce Dixey competition coming up in a month or so
and
Playing in the Wind Band, University Orchestra (first horn baby! bring on those Mahler solos!) brass trio, brass quintet, brass dectet, piano trio, wind octet, soon-to-be-formed horn quartet, and playing in another 6 or 7 Joyce Dixey pieces! phew! yes, that IS alot!
aaannnnnddddd I'll be conducting the University Orchestra playing Les Preludes by Liszt for my assessment in May!!!!! eeeee!!!!!!!!
So yes, life is gooooooddd. and the blogging will resume!
but now it's late, and I'm tired, so I will bid you all adieu!
(always leave 'em wanting more ::wink wink::)
