Brad, The Bringer of Awesomeness

Tonight was my first taste of the sweet sweet nectar that is the Stockon Symphony. I'm pretty sure that I was the last person to actually purchase a ticket, which afforded me the stellar opportunity to sit next to a sweaty orchestra fan in the last row of the upper deck. That alone was worth the $7.50 price of admission - thank you University of Minnesota student ID for the 50% discount...

In addition to Stravinsky's Fireworks and Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, they performed Gustav Holst's "The Planets," which is near and dear to my heart as I played two of the more popular movements (Mars & Jupiter) in my more musical days. I often wish that I was playing el Trombone on a regular basis, but I wonder what I would have to spend less time on in order to make time for it..

Sleeping? You've got to be kidding.
Eating? I might choke!
Working? Now you're talking...
Susaning? I doubt she'd let me get away with that.
Blogging? Heaven forbid.
