Sno Cone of Luv: Nutville

So some people have asked me if I’m still going to march Govies this summer. The answer is yes. Should I be? Most likely no, but it is kind of a release for me. Although as I sit here typing this after a rehearsal weekend, completely exhausted, sunburned and just all around mentally worn out, I question it a little. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, I’m just a little beat.

For those of you in Iowa that don’t know, I’m playing Euphonium this year. All that means is by August I should be able to beat any of you in arm wrestling….with my left arm. What I would like to take a moment to mention though is that it would be great to see some of you at a show this year (unless you’re in Govies and then you should be there anyway). I never really have truly solicited my friends to come to shows, but I see some of you so infrequently it would be a great excuse for a trip for you. Now my first year, a few of you did come out…and I was horrible…worst show of my life …and not a happy camper, or polite for that matter. However, things are much better now.

Anyway, here are the show dates so mark your calendar:

June 22nd Stillwater, MN - DCI

June 23rd Mankato, MN – DCI

June 29th Coon Rapids, MN – DCI (close to our house)

July 26th South Milwaukee, WI - DCA

July 27th Lake Geneva, WI – DCA

August 16th St. Peter, MN – DCA (best after show party ever)

August 17th South St. Paul, MN - DCA

August 31st Rochester, NY – DCA Prelims (finals the next day)
