this will be quick. i have class starting in 20 minutes.
i’ve been in banff for 2 weeks now, though it seems like it’s been a lot longer. we’ve gone on plenty of hikes, jumped in glacial lakes, played a lot, and had tons of fun. the bassoon studio gets along so well. we pretty much don’t go anywhere unless everyone else is with us (with the exception of today…a few people are going up on a multiple-hour-long hike that i will not be taking in).
we had a bassoon band concert last tuesday, which was quite a fun treat. then we went on a studio trip (with the oboes, though we did not socialize with them the entire day) to lake maraine and lake louise, finishing off the trip with plunges in lake agnes (at the top of a trail by lake louise) and lake louise. it was cold, but tons of fun. and the oboes basked in the glory of us calling them wusses for not coming in with us.
i’ll post pictures later today, hopefully. there are tons on facebook. if you can get there, my main photo page is here. gotta run. class soon.
