Daily life on a sub list

Author: gregbaker112@gmail.com

I am on 2 sub/extras lists here in the Twin Cities, a Wind Ensemble and a Symphony Orchestra.

At the present time, this is all I have going. I am actively seeking out auditions but as yet have not found anything steady.

In terms of my day to day practicing, here is what I am doing:

1. First of all, I have been following the websites and Facebook feeds for each ensemble, and what parts I can get off of IMSLP, I have been practicing and listening to.

2. Second, I have tried in my practicing to stick purely to the fundamentals; Baermann 3, Rose Etudes, Cavallini, etc.

Am I missing anything? My concern is that with my lack of performance experience, I may have bitten off more than I can chew. How does one go about preparing for music you have no access to? Should I ask someone for practice copies of the music, or just stick with the basics as I am now??

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
