Thanks for the raw, undeserved charity, heh, heh.

Yes, I'm ecstatic about the programming. The last time I played under a conductor willing to take risks and push the group was in 1984 under Randy Bass at the Austin Symphonic Band. It's quite a rush to read down the big-boy music, and I've missed it.

Even in the last cycle when he was not with us, our associate conductor programmed some fun warhorses like English Folk Song Suite and Irish Tune from County Derry. Even though I've played both a zillion times, I'd rather play them again than try to stay awake through Symphony of Sitcoms or the like.

Now if I can just find a way not to get fat while I'm doing all this playing and while I'm not doing any triathlon training.
