Re: first concert back

Well done on getting back playing! I'm sure I'm not alone in meeting many lapsed players who don't have the confidence to take the first step back to taking part in a group or the dedication to practise back up to their previous level.

It sounds as though you have a pretty good idea of what's what and the kind of things you need to do to get back to your previous standard.

As far as the intonation thing is concerned, it may be that some other members of the group did not have sufficiently developed technical skills (embouchure etc. depending on instrument) or aural skills to keep in tune when they were actually playing a piece and not just a tuning note, so don't think it was just you. Also, of course, we all know that almost all wind instruments will get sharper after playing for a while but not necessarily at the same rate!

Well done again though!
