Holidays Extended

So, I have made the treacherous trip back to Perth fighting through the worst of the snow, ice and cold to find that college has been cancelled for another week due to the weather conditions. It seems that I am one of the only contenders to have made it through and so look forward to a week of minimal events. Maybe I should look upon this incident as a good omen though and take this free time to grease up the hinges for a very eventful term.
Although I haven’t returned to college as of yet I have already had a call from local saxophonist Felix offering me a gig in Perth concert hall. The gig is to take place the second week of March and consists of me playing trombone with a backing band for a catwalk. I have seen the repertoire and although it does not seem complex I feel the challenge will be playing consistent for I have the habit of loosing my embouchure as my lips tire. Scales and lip exercises may be a good idea this week mixed with a little bit of presentation work. But apart from that the week has been as empty as a glass with no water. Hopefully the college will open it glorious gates in the next few days and let me back in!
