Back to normal

I have completed one more grad class... 3 credits closer to graduation!

Tonight's practice session included pentatonic scale work, as well as harmonic overtones.  I like this for control of the horn practice.  Also played some Berg tunes I have been transcribing, as well as some new Tom Scott and the Hornheads.

I have been switching between Vandoren Red Box and Blue Box reeds.  Tonight was the blue box.  I may force some time on them, I think they force me to have a truer emboucher.  If I tighten up the throat or start biting, they let me know by squealing immediately!  However, when the emboucher is just right, it sounds nice.
One thing I do have to find is a sound deflector for myself when I play on RCJ.  When the rhythm section gets fired up, WOW are they loud!

More tomorrow, after dinner with the Mother in Law......
