Remember the community band I had to practically fight my way into?
I conducted the second half of the rehearsal last night.
The conductor broke his wrist this week. Assistant conductor wasn't available, so one of the many HS teacher in the band took the first half of rehearsal. He wanted to play for the second half, and no one else was interested in waving the stick, so I did.
Got a nice round of applause at the end of it, which kind of took me by surprise, since I'm fairly direct when it comes to musical matters.
I had fun, and sweated a lot.
