My first full day in rehearsal for the Medora musical was a fantastic success. I am staying with the rest of the cast about 20 minutes from Medora in a town called Bellfield. My day started at 8:30 for breakfast in Medora and a costume fitting. after that we had our first band practice. I am very happy to say that we sound great. Having never done anything like this before I had no idea what to expect but it was easy-going and friendly. The musicians I am working with are seriously excellent and I am proud to be working with them. I think that this summer will be a great lesson in how I can improve my playing and become a better musician, but it is also nice to realize that I am not lagging horribly behind the veterans. I may not have experience but I can do this. I think this summer will be the perfect combination of inspiration and encouragement that will help me to grow as a musician.
