I have two wonderful pieces of information!
1) Yesterday, I performed the Concertino for Marimba and Orchestra by Paul Creston! This major work is incredibly difficult in almost every aspect (technique, musicality, etc.), but I really feel I pulled it off quite nicely--especially for the first time performing it. I look forward to a lifetime of playing this piece, and it getting better and better each time!! I'll be posting audio and video clips as soon as I get them uploaded.
2) Not even half an hour ago, I just sent the last of the money owed towards my marimba (Feodore) in the mail. That means Feodore will be shipped TOMORROW!!!!!!! And I will have her in about 3-4 days. I can't even explain how exciting it is!!
That's about all the information I have right now. I'm still working on getting performance dates, but they should be coming soon. I plan on getting everything set by the end of September. I do have a new date now for Norman, which is December 5 at 8:00 pm. So mark your calenders!

Consider it marked.
I love the fact that it's got a name and gender. I can tell already, you're a man after my own heart. (Or are you older? I think you are.) Take good care of her! Good luck with all your practicing and concerting (yeah, I know it should be performing, but concerting just sounds more fun).
Wishing you a good semester,
MEO
Feodore is here!!! You should put up a picture of her!! :-)
