I spent the day playing the 1st trumpet part of Mahler's 5th Symphony with the orchestra I've been in for (gulp!) 33 years, and despite my health issue and less playing recently, I got away with it reasonably convincingly, I think, and the chops stayed the course. Yay!
And I was the only person to ride to and from the rehearsal, so I think I should get a brownie point for that. I should let the timpanist off, I guess, for driving a car there.
