Nate's weekend job

About a week ago, Nate got a call from his old high school band director, who he has kept in contact with over the years, and he called to ask Nate if he wanted to do judge the low brass for the region honor band auditions in Holbrook. Of course Nate said yes! He was so excited to do this. It is going to look really good on his resume too.
So, throughout the week, Nate was looking at the songs that they would be playing for him and trying to decide what to wear and then he also had to pick which scales to have them play and he also had to come up with sightreading music for them. He was up almost all night on Friday trying to do that.
On Saturday morning, he woke up at 4:30 in the morning and drove to Holbrook. I tried to convince him to go to Show Low the night before and stay there but he was stubborn and decided he would rather drive early in the morning instead. He judged all morning and then came home all exhausted. He had alot of fun and hopes that he can do it again.
