Stay away from my band then. We frequently have 0830 funerals. I have to leave the house about 45 minutes before the report time in order to ensure time to beat traffic, change into my monkey suit, and shine up the horn. Add another 30 minutes for a shower and bowl of oatmeal and you get to 1:15 in just unstinking/driving/changing clothes. Now add another 1hr for practice time and that 0830 turns into 0615 wakeup. All that to play 2 hymns, 2 "marches", and "America" on Sousaphone in a 35F degree rainstorm with gunfire, horse poop, and the occasional cannon going off.

Does that make me a professional "musician"? Never mind, wrong thread. ;)
