Orchestra news and photos
Tonight I was planning to blog about how much I miss orchestra ... our last meeting was the July 3 concert. I was also planning to lament about the fact that we won’t be rehearsing again until October 4, but then this afternoon Maestro sent out a global email asking if we'd be available for a concert at a local town event at the end of September, which of course would necessitate beginning our 2007-08 season a month earlier than originally planned. (Yesssss!) I’ve already emailed him back to confirm both myself and my husband. Here’s hoping.
I have such good memories of all of our concerts this past year, but the concert two weeks ago was my favorite. My niece (maid-of-honor at my daughter’s wedding) took the following photos of me at that outdoor concert.
Looking very intent and serious, warming up before the concert
Nervously trying to arrange my music on the stand
It took me a little while to adjust to playing outdoors. I think I might invest in those big see-through clips to secure the music, especially if this next concert is an outdoor event.

Wow! I want to play outside! Winston wouldn't like it much though. Here in Texas, the weather really screws up your cello inside, so imagine what it would be like outside.
Heh, I love both of your pictures. I do the nervous 'arrange the music to make it look like I'm doing something' thing... Not that that is what you were doing, but heh... That's the face I make too. You have a very lovely cello. I also love how serious you look in the first one. :)
All your photos are terrific! Congratulations on being the mother of the bride!
I'm glad you have good memories of your orchestra season, and good luck with the next season.
My orchestra has a rehearsal next week for an outdoor concert on Saturday July 28.
(I found a link to your site on another cellist's blog... isn't it amazing how we have this blogging-cellist network? Yay!)
I played outside for the first time in June... The music, thankfully, didn't blow away, but that was probably because I had paper-clipped it to the folder. It was pretty interesting, and I'm sure the acoustics for all those listening were not terrific. But it was still fun! (With the exception, possibly, of the bass player... she was standing next to the trash can. Whoops.)
And by the way, what beautiful wedding pictures!
Donna, you are so cute, arranging your music.
I'm hoping your summer reprieve doesn't last too long and that your group begins it's season a month early.
XO,
Jill
