In an attempt to make myself excited for All-State, rather than just terrified, I decided I may as well be prepared and listen to some recordings of what we're playing. Well, it worked, until I went back to practicing my part.
Now it's all back to fear.
Sometime between now and this coming Tuesday, this English horn needs some repairs. My left hand Eb key is tapping other keys when I press it (which is quite often) and its location just feels very, well, wrong.
The likelihood of this actually happening, on a scale of 1-10, is somewhere near zero. No matter how desperate my situation, a student oboist will have to wait if there's a professional who needs repairs. If there's one thing I've learned so far in my relatively scant years of playing, it's that. Though, I may as well try.
