I have found playing in the pit is fun and builds endurance. I am in the middle
of a 30 show run of "Oliver" at our local theater group in Gainesville,
Florida. The part is challanging because only a small ensemble is playing and I
have to play the horn 1 or 2 part and also play parts of Trombone 1, Bassoon,
Cello, and Trumpet 2. My part has a lot of paste up inserts in it. So it ends
up with two hours of pretty steady playing iusing three mutes and stopped horn.
And the range is from G, bottom line of bass clef staff to high C (fortunately
only one note). Love it. Regards.
