I had a concert on 12/03 with this ensemble.
Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra
I have gone to rehearsals with this orchestra every Sunday (starting 09/12) from 1:30-5 except for the following days:
10/16
11/28
12/19
12/26
01/02
01/23
02/06
I also had concerts on the 11/13 and 10/16 at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.
Other
Small jazz combo at Mt Sac that rehearsed once a week with Mr. Elwood (the head of the jazz department), and performed on 11/29.
Several rehearsals and a performance for a friends recital, involving musicians from Mt Sac, CSU Long Beach, and working professionals.
MUS 16 was a percussion ensemble that actually met from 4:30-6:35 (the schedule is wrong) every Wednesday, and also included a 1/2 hour lesson every week. I missed this class 3 times but don't have the exact dates.

Literal
a) I, Lindsey Eastham, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) I completed gajillion hours or rehearsal, that led to several performances, and to me becoming a better musician.
Interpretive
Although it takes a ton of preparation to prepare for any concert, there were a few concerts that I spent a lot of time practicing and rehearsing for. Michael's recital was pretty challenging, there were many late rehearsals, and I had to transcribe a lot of the parts. Here are some of the recordings (I was playing vibraphone):
Intrinsic
Shade of Jade
The PSYO concerts were also very challenging, because the rehearsals and performances are so high pressure.
Applied
I was able to apply all of the theories and topics discussed in my research to my practice, rehearsal, and performance. This was especially helpful in PSYO where we discuss a lot about the composition and how we should perform it, similar to the topics I will be covering in my 20 min presentation. In my personal practice, I was inclined to research more about the composers, and their intentions. I have already seen a positive impact on my playing.
