Good Evening!
My original plan for today was to get up around 9:00am, have breakfast, then head to the theatre around 10:30am to get another hour or so of practice in, take a break for a leisurely lunch, then head back to the theatre for the 2:00pm matinee. Well...
When I woke up the first time, it was already 9:30am. When I woke up the second time it was 10:45am. I decided just to take my time getting ready, and I ended up at the theatre around 12:30pm. I ran a few things with Gary, the other pianist, before the matinee, and then...
Both shows went very well today. There are still a couple of passages I'm simplifying out of "fear", but, for the most part, I'm already feeling comfortable in regards to the flow of the show.
And I'm glad I got a full night's sleep last night rather than forcing myself to wake up "early".
