| Wait a minute...are you at TEXAS Tech?
I guess I can clarify a little bit. The chart we had just played was "That's The Way I Like It". The spot in question is a section in the middle where we have whole notes right around F on top of the staff, and near the end, we have a triplet that goes up to a Bb right above that F. Well, the mood hit me, and I took that whole section up an octave, even the Bb. Then, on the last note, I hit the higher octave G (how is that one officially referred to, anyway?) trying to make that big chord/jazz/pep sound. Apparently he didn't like it. Even the student director (director is currently in Tennessee with half of our band at a Volleyball tournament), who's pretty stingy with complements, told me we sounded great, high notes and all. So I guess I'm just being a little panicky.
