Last night when I showed up to jazz band rehearsal, the new director asked me if I had a flugelhorn, I said no, but I could probably get one. Well he said he wants to feature me on this solo either this semester or next.
Normally I would so flattered, it was something that my old band director wouldn't do in high school. He was a trumpet player, and instead of encouragement, he competed against me because he played in the jazz band on the top part. So this like a dream for me, and I am kinda surprised, I am not a music major, so I don't feel I am that good really. I am not sure why he picked me. But anyways, I am freaking out because of my last solo, he knows about that solo and he tried to convince me it wasn't that bad, and he feels I can do this. But is on the flugelhorn, which I don't own, plus there is a part improv. solo. Well I am more of a classical musican, not a jazz one, so I am feeling intimidated by this. There are other old players with more experience than me that could do a nicer job. The director said not to get all worried. Well I am not confinced. ekkk! I feel like a duck out of water.
