It was hot this weekend for Seattle - 90+ which for the Pacific Northwest qualifies as a heat wave. When we moved here from California we found it astounding to hear Pacific Northwest natives complain about the heat when the temperature rose above 80 degrees.
We played very well for both of the concerts, hot as it was, with all black (poor guys in their tuxes/suits!) on Saturday inside a church with no air conditioning and thankfully in the shade for the outdoor concert on Sunday (shorts of any color were allowed with our official black orchestra t-shirts!)
There is no rest for the weary! One of my groups is getting ready for a gig on the 11th and yesterday I got an email from our conductor asking if I would join in a chamber orchestra he is going to lead during the summer. Sounds like fun!

Congratulations to you! What a compliment to receive such an invitation from your Maestro.
When I read things like this it makes me want to practice more. I would just love to be invited to join a chamber group some day.
Good luck to you with the next gig and the chamber orchestra.
Wow, you are playing a lot! Congratulations on the invite to join the chamber orchestra. Have fun, and try to stay cool!
