Another Ridley? Not possible!

So I joined the Calvin College orchestra because they didn't have a second bassoon player, and my first rehersal was today. Lo and behold, the first oboe player (oboist?) was named Ridley! And more than that, she looked like Rid! Except her hair was almost as short as mine....I seriously would have thought that she was your older sister, save that you have the same name. Very odd. Very very odd.

Rehersal was fun though, other than the insane sixteenth note runs. And they gave me a nicer bassoon to use! I'm quite excited for that. The director is a lot of fun though; here's my best impression of his explaination of a section of one of the pieces we're playing:

Cello: You must pay the rent!
Basoon: I CAN'T [pronounced "Kant" because he's British] pay the rent!
Cello: You must pay the rent!
Basoon: I CAN'T pay the rent!
Trombone: I'll pay the rent!!!

Quite fun. Miss you all!
