Subj: Re: [kl] How Many Concerts Do You Go To?
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 15:04:57 -0500

Being a high school band director is my day job (and a lot of nights), so my band performs at every football game, pep rally, and concerts. As far as my clarinet, I perform with a community band and the local symphony. Those together entail about 15 performances per year. I also play in a woodwind quintet but our performances are not very frequent.

The community band rehearses on Monday nights and the orchestra rehearses on Tuesdays. Since I als teach clarinet on the adjunct faculty on a junior college, I teach lessons on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, but even thought I play in those lessons, I don't know if those count as performances.

One thing I do know is that I don't have much free time, but I do enjoy what I do.
