Proms Praise Programme

That's enough alliteration for one post! We had the first full rehearsal tonight, and I find that we have the Shostakovich Festive Overture and the John Williams Liberty Fanfare both on the programme. The problem is that I need a Contra Bass for the Shostakovich and a Bass for the Williams, the Fanfare is too high for me to play on the CC and the Overture too low for me on the EEb. The only answer is take both, sometimes I feel this smacks of showing off, but it's also a serious logistical pain getting both instruments up to town for rehearsals, and on Saturday there is going to be a big demo on my route.

Who said life was going to be easy?
