Yay, it worked!

Tuesday evening saw the premier performance of "Christmas Day" by Gustov Holst, arranged for concert band by none other than my sweetie, M. She was completely stressed out and hoping right up to the last minute the the director would drop the piece. He didn't and we played it in all its glory, gliches and all. And it was actually really good. Sounded really great in the theater. The director made her stand up at the end of the piece and even the band applauded. I'm so proud of her. This was the first piece of music she has ever arranged for concert band, she usually writes for voices, and childrens voices at that. Now, a year to tweak the piece some more, some people are never satisfied, and she'll give the revised piece back to the band director again and we may play it again. We really need to find out how to get music published.
