there for about half the year, so how do you properly commit?

Hi all,

You're right about the commitment part. I joined a band when I started
university just over a year ago. They were 2 sections higher and took their
rehearsals and practicing seriously which I loved. I decided to sign for
them and did the areas with them in March. Although I still play with my old
band in the holidays I enjoy playing with a higher section band which tests
my ability that bit further and am looking forward to the areas again in
march 2001! I have however found it difficult to commit due to part time
work, studying (yes really!) and running the Uni Music Society. I will
definately make time when a test piece gets pulled out though!!

I love playing my cornet but Universities don't always realise what a great
instrument it is. I'm stuck playing my trympet most of the time ie Big Band,
Orchestra, Brass ensembles. But hey I'm having a laugh.
