This weekend means all sorts of things to all sorts of people. To me it means lots of work, and lots of performing. Yesterday I played with with the All Saints Concert Band at a do in West Wickham, it was quite a big occasion with lots of rides, side shows, stalls and events in the arena. We were playing in a large marquee with a nice temporary stage. We played two sets of about 45 minutes each, the first we played to a fairy, but expected sparse audience. The second set was to a paced house, tat may have been something to do with the rain, which was lashing down outside; and incidentally just behind my back as well.

It was a pretty good performance under the circumstances, but for me it was a bit frustrating as I was playing tenor sax parts on a borrowed euphonium. Way out of my comfort zone, the parts are pretty boring and rather high for me. Still at least two of us enjoyed the occasion.
