I just recently found out about a summer community orchestra through the University – it requires an audition, but my roommate assures me that I am good enough (and she’s a composer, so she should know). I think I AM good enough, I’m just awfully rusty.

It’s the perfect amount of time committment, too – 5 weekly rehearsals, and then a concert. All very standard youth orchestra-type stuff (Bizet, Beethoven, a bit of Wagner I think), but I miss playing in orchestras so much, and I actually have very pedestrian tastes in classical music.

I’m going to probably change this goal to 1 hour daily. I’d like to try for the 1st Violin section. Not that I HAVE to be a 1st Violin, but they do get much more interesting parts overall.
