crikey! sounds like good fun though...do you already know these tunes, or are they really simple, or do they think you're a sight-reading queen?

Have a good time! I am going on tour on Monday and have to learn 5/6 pieces in 3 days, which are very hard!

Well, the pieces are really good pieces - just hard!! I only know 2 people going on tour, but the flutes seem very friendly.

oh no! I've just looked throught the sea songs properly and the ending's an octave higher so it's in something like 10th position (which means i can bite my nails while playing)

i'm back! I hope you all missed me I'm really tired now! But the course was really good! The concert was last night and I messed up the 1st half by losing count every time i had rests but the 2nd half was loads better and i even played the evil bit at the end of jupiter! and the oboeist who played the solos in the mozart was amazing!
