But why?

"I found a bunch of European recordings...one was from...I think Denmark."

Are there any well-known orchestras over there? Like I would know..."

"And I found one from...Quebec."

Quebec?!???

"Okay so Quebec isn't exactly in Europe..."

Oh okay...

First wind ensemble rehearsal for the quarter. There's a big piccolo solo thing in one of our pieces. She gets the notes right but that's all they are--notes. Note note note. She pounds notes. It really kills me to know that I could probably play a lot better than she does with a little practice, but we all know that that ain't happenin' anytime soon.

I want to hear that part played right. She's fricken lucky that I suck because if I didn't, I'd have that part in a heartbeat.
