Last night was my second rehearsal with the USO and I am arrogantly impressed with myself and my improvement. To start with, I didn't almost blind a violinist with my baton like I did last week (oops), but more importantly, I had more confidence in my abilities as well as less of the "I'm intruding where I don't belong" feeling. I am still ridiculously intimidated by the regular conductor (the wonderful Peter Webb), but I know I can at least run both of my pieces, all the way through, with minimal mistakes.
I will be filming in two weeks time and this somewhat terrifies me. Part of me feels as if the entire future of my life and career is resting on this one recording, but when I take a step back, I remember that I have my creative writing degree to fall back on, as well as other talents within the music industry.
My current (first-world) problem is that I have too many options ahead of me and I simply do not know which path to take.
Hopefully I'll sort it out soon.
