the final countdown

after a sweet crazy 3 days of rehearsals and concerts i get to see my lady. sweet.

just 2 hours.

quickly about the concerts, it was amazing. we played 4 concerts of "night on bald mountain and pictures at an exhibition." not all of them were flawless, but there was an energy that was amazing. i say that they were not flawless, but that does not mean that they were bad. the orchestra is really good and has an amazing brass section that is a blast to play with. john dante sounded like a beast.

one more quick thing about the concerts. the idea behind this concert was to involve local schools in the performance. this was done by having students create visual art through drawing and painting of the different movements of "pictures at an exhibition" that would be on display in the lobby at the performance hall. not only was that done, but the art was copied to be projected on a large screen behind the orchestra while we were playing. in a sense, the audience was taken on a walk through the art students' exhibition. neat concept that was well received.

alright, time to pick up emily! have a wonderful day!
