On the morning of Friday the 19th I’ve driven up to a home of two good friends in the Dash Point area. I take an hour to get I-5 out of my bloodstream, then go over the whole range of music that I need to be ready to play that afternoon. My audition time slot is a range of between 5:00 – 6:45 p.m. I need to arrive at around 4:15 to get a warm-up room and be ready to get the list of excerpts that will be required for the preliminary round.
