Collegiate Orchestra

A couple of weeks ago, the violin instructor at the Uni asked if I would be interested in performing with the Collegiate Orchestra on Saturday. Of course I agreed. The orchestra was tiny - the three newly-recruited violinists brought the total of first violins to five. Oh well, playing was the important thing.

On Saturday evening, after my day surfing the waves, I walked to St. Paul's Cathedral in the Octagon and found out that the director wanted me to sit as concertmaster. I had only been to two rehearsals and missed the Saturday afternoon rehearsal, but he insisted. I made plenty of mistakes, but overall the concert went pretty well.
