Today was one of those thoroughly overbooked days. I had to find mountains of props and costumes for both Hair and the Sondheim show, write a response paper for Loewen, eat a food, take my classes, go to my rehearsal for the percussion concert, go to Sondheim rehearsal, go to Hair rehearsal, and sing the percussion concert (Steve Reich something. I messed it up, but the guy who recruited us was just happy to have singers). I only skipped one of these things entirely, and though it would have been better if I had gone to the percussion rehearsal, I think the day worked out okay.

It's a new thrill every show I work on, when the lights and costumes finally show up and it looks like we're really gonna pull it off. The drummer came tonight, too, and seems eminently friendly and thoroughly capable. He hardly needed any direction at all. Now to convince the trumpet to come to some of the runs before the show opens.

Sleeping! Or paper? No. I'll regret it this weekend, but I'm sleeping now. I still have trouble phonating.

i'm glad you're sleeping.

We both messed up a little bit, but not as much as on Tuesday! I think it was ok enough; there were few mistakes. By the end my voice was so tired, though (ahh passaggio) and I'm sure it was audible. Doing that whole thing 2.5 times in a day is most def not a good idea for me.

As a percussionist and a devout minimalist, Steve Reich is my faaaaaaavorite. So I'm afraid that "Steve Reich something" only drives me crazy trying to guess which something it was.

aThe title had "for _ and Organ" in it, and the ensemble was composed of three or four sets of vibes, marimbas, a xylophones, a glockenspiel or two, an electric organ, and us three singers.
