Z o r bl o g

So next Tuesday night I'll begin my marching band gig career playing at the mall when Santa comes to town to listen to the wishes of the lil' brats. I hope I can walk and play at the same time. I hope I'm in good enough shape not to pass out in the middle of a parade. I hope I don't step in horse :shit. Even more so, I hope I don't step in horse :shit, slip and have my flute stuck where the sun don't shine.

I got my uniform and nifty armband music stand last night, Santa Claus parade season is coming up (something like 7 in the next 3 weeks) and I am grateful that I sight read very well because sight reading while marching is somewhat of the newbie initiation. Maybe I'll get so absorbed in looking at the music that I'll walk into a telephone pole.

Maybe I'll just try practicing with the stand strapped to my arm instead of letting my imagination run wild.
