By "great" you mean it wasn't sleeting or snowing. But it was cold and the wind blew in Harper's Ferry. My high chops are out of practice and I played the first tuba part on F--after playing all tunes twice thorugh in rehearsal and twice through again in performance I was seriously depleted. And then I had another gig that night.Scott C wrote:Baltimore and Harpers Ferry are TODAY! Weather looks GREAT!
I'm hoping that the powers that be in Harper's Ferry can find a way to get us back into the old church.
