Back on July 22 (yeah, I know, that was almost a month ago, but I've taken pretty good notes of my moments of delight, and now I am playing catch up!), I experienced a moment of delight at rehearsal for the Rockport Legion Band. We were sight reading a compilation of Beach Boys songs and I had several solos in it. One was particularly hard; I had the melody for "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" Thankfully, I am very familiar with Beach Boys music (AND we are playing the same piece in the Cape Ann Community Band, and even though I am playing bari sax for that, I was at least familiar with hearing the alto sax part), which all resulted in me pretty much nailing it. After that first read through, the conductor congratulated me for doing such a great job. I really appreciated that acknowledgement, and was delighted that the solo came out as well as I thought it had!
With delight,
♥Jamie
