In keeping with the tradition...

Before every performance, I have instrument trouble. Today, my flute was wonking out, so I thought that that would be it. Which was nice, because I figured out that it was just a trill key sticking down that made all the notes sound the same.
But then I had reed trouble. The AP knocked over my reed water when I had reeds in it. The cork got wet, and because we were off the next town, I had to put it away wet.
Let's just say that the cork is rather thoroughly ruined at the moment. Ripped, torn, swollen... All from just putting it in and taking it out at the next couple of towns. So I need to break in a new reed before our year end performance on Wednesday. Which would be easier if I had a day off somewhere between here and there.
But it's better than the other times. The duck reed, the one that split while we were warming up... The list goes on. So just having to break in a new one is a good thing. ::Nods::
In other news: Thinking of polishing up one of my old Harry Potter pieces, just so I've posted something
Yay! Track meet tomorrow! (My other tradition: Accumulating injuries before the big outdoor meet. I'm hoping my ankle feels better for tomorrow, but if not, I'll make due.)
