This afternoon we had our first semester's concert for PYMO. It was a great first concert - nothing catastropic happened, and the few unnoticible (mostly) messups were not from the violins. With the exception of the last movement of the Polevetsian Dances--we completely screwed the ending by rushing and SOMEHOW botching up the second ending. So half the section was lost, half (myself included) was rushing, and *I* should have been leading and couldn't quite salvage it. I think my conductor was a bit annoyed at me. Oh well--I know what to work on for next concert!

Along with the Polevetsian Dances (the entire suite) we played Dvorak Slavonic Dance No. 2, H. Owen Reid's La Fiesta Mexicana (just one movement), Bach's Concerto for Violin but played on Marimba (now that, was funny. I never knew there was an arrangement for marimba until now--it went quite well), a concerto for Clarinet, and Tchaikowsky's Walzer (strings only).
