My Trombone Life so Far

So I've been back in music & trombone full time since August now. I can't honestly say that things are going well in that department, at least from a financial perspective. I don't have any students although I hope that will change soon with the start of the current semester. I haven't played much 'professionaly' although I did have the one Christmas gig. Didn't pay that well, though. And I've done one piece on Finale. I'm advertising in the International Musician, though, so I'm hoping to get more work there.

The good news? My playing has been getting better. I've been steadily playing every day, doing my warmups and working etudes and then excerpts. The excerpts still need some work but they are getting better. I need to get it all cleaned up before I go to the Buffalo audition in late Feb.

Oh, and concerning that - I'm looking for a couple of excerpts that I'm having a hard time finding:

2nd Trombone - Bartok Concerto for Orchestra
2nd Trombone - Hindemith Symphonic Metamorphosis

I know that they are available in excerpt books but I would rather have the original part, for accuracy's sake. No seems to sell them or rent the individual parts. If anyone knows how I can get these I would appreciate the info.
