This morning I made a few copies and organized some stacks of music. During cadet orchestra I ran the first half of class with the percussionists on The Patriot. We practiced their entrance and we started the song a few times for the soloists. I felt much more confident in my gestures this time through. Concert orchestra had a full rehearsal with winds and percussion.  I helped fill in for a missing percussionist and fixed a couple of issues with the bass drummer. With symphony orchestra I ran the Elgar. We also fixed a few spots and started the piece several times. Dynamics and phrasing need to be worked and exaggerated.
