Louder, faster, higher!

Only 8 days until we blast off to Bali. I picked up the music from Michael a few days ago and have been recovering from the shock of seeing the score for the first time.

I've played trumpet for almost 14 years, but I've never considered the instrument as having a useful three-octave range. I'm quite certain that I do not possess a beautiful sounding three-octave range - but hey there's no time like the present to find out.

Today is Friday and I have only one weekend left in town before leaving. If someone said right now 'oops, we're actually scheduled to leave tomorrow' I would probably be just fine. However, because I still have a few days to go, I will probably spend more money on other travelling goodies that I could otherwise live without. Oh well - it's all part of the fun!
