I collected my degree audit from the last year of college and looked up all the ensembles I was playing in, as well tried to remember all the things I performed and did musically outside of college too. I wanted to write out a repertoire list of which pieces I played each semester...but that's literally impossible...in another famous person's words: "AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!" :D haha. I definitely can't remember any of the pieces I played in Wind Symphony. However, the little that I can remember and what I could dig up, gives me a good view of what I was doing as far as performance load at the time. I wrote a rep list at the far bottom. I remember pieces I played, but not when...it's hard to remember.
This is pretty rough outline...there's probably a lot missing!
