Concert!

Yesterday was our concert - it went really well! I'm kind-of disappointed that we're not going to play Shostakovich anymore, but now we'll start on Mahler, so it's ok :). Before we played the Shostakovich the conductor gave a really funny speech about it and the Mozart opera - he sounded really scatterbrained. I thought that the bass section sounded really in-tune for the most part, which was nice. Earlier in the day we had a dress rehearsal and were also going to have an opera rehearsal, but the conductor decided to put it off until today. At lunch I did some yoga with the cello section - it felt good to stretch some. I got pretty tan from spending so much time outside. I took the afternoon off from practicing and walked into town some - bought some liquor for after the concert ;). Last night I walked to the beach with some people (the ones in the picture below - that was at dinner before the concert - it is Patrick, Jessica and Christine) - there was no sand - it was all rocks about the size of my fist. I went in the water up to my knees - it was really cold!! I think I might have left my watch there - I'm going to go back today sometime to see if I can find it :(.
