General
Woohoo orchestra started up again, and we are playing an arrangement of the overture to Mikhail Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmila, one of my favs from my college orchestra days. I love this line from Wikipedia: "The rollicking overture is one of the best known orchestral showpieces in the West and known for being a nightmare for bassists." Thankfully it is actually fun for clarinetists.
I don't really know how but February flew by so quickly that I don't even remember what happened.
