Any Instrumentalists/Vocalists?

Many of you already know this, but I play the French horn, and am currently in the process of auditioning to play full time in a professional orchestra somewhere. I've performed with many orchestras throughout the US and Canada, and as I write this I'm in the hotel room that an orchestra in Florida got me for the week that I am playing with them. I started playing horn when I was 7, and on average I practice 2-3 hours a day on my own, not counting the average of 5 hours a day I'm in orchestra rehearsal. My favorite composer is Gustav Mahler. Check out his 8th symphony if you want your mind permanently blown. 1000 musicians performing fantastic music in tandem is truly a spectacle to behold, and since I was 13 I had no doubt that this was what I was destined to do with my life.
