I think my favorite part of my flute-playing career was when I spent a semester in a fairly small charter school - our "band" was more of an ensemble, with only five or six kids, and I was the only flute. It meant having to know everything we played really well, but it also meant that I could go to the library, find the music for "Can You Read My Mind?", learn it, and go to the teacher and ask "Can I do this as a solo in our Superman medley?" I got so many compliments on it after our performance. It was a little disheartening after that to go back to the giant high-school band format with eighteen other flutes who weren't interested in actually harmonizing or working together. Sigh.
No, I'm not a bit of a prima donna, whatever gave you that idea? :p
