i had a wonderful 2-hour session with Joe, my student. We went through "Roses of Picardy" for the last time. I pointed ot several sections I thought might be over0orchestrated and suggested he hear them in rehearsal and decide rather than thin them out. We went on to "Auld Lang Syne," which he had told me was an audience singalong. I thought the orchestration was too light, and he confessed the soloist was singing it and they hoped the audience would sing along.

Then we looked at an arrangement Joe's writing of the Sailor's Hornpipe. He's about 2/3 through it and I was more enthusiastic about it than he is. We focused on the section he did not like  and then discussed where it was going. He's very talented.

I've got to work on the music stuff, and we have a dress rehearsal tonight for tomorrow night's concert.

Other than that, it's going to be a positively gorgeous day here, topping out at 80 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, and I'm just too busy with stuff to get outside and do anything at all with it. Not that I'm particularly dying to get out there and be active. But that's going to have to wait.

From DR Vixmom:

Quote
I used the necessary, had a glass of oj and my levithyroxine  and sat down in the recliner

Hmmm, are you aware that it is supposed to be taken on an empty stomach and then wait 30-60 minutes before eating?
Calcium supplements shouldn't be taken for four hours after taking levothyroxine.

Sydney's more concerned about the next two performances - she thinks she'll be fine tonight. I told her to not push vocally tonight and that I'd have her mic level pushed up a bit. She has four songs in the show, but only two would be taxing vocally and only one has a money note at the end and that's a song we could actually and easily take down a whole step if we needed to.

So, Into the Woods has a rehearsal tomorrow morning at 10:00 am, but I just came across this article about south-bound travel around Joint Base Lewis-McCord:

Expect backups on I-5 near Nisqually Saturday, Sunday mornings. Here’s why:

I think only the director and choreographer live north of JBLM, and the choreographer isn't called for tomorrow, so most likely only the director's commute will be affected. :-\

Sydney came through with flying colors - no one knew she was sick. I could hear the nasal stuff and she was careful on the songs, but boy did she nail the money note on I Like Him. We did raise the mic level a bit.
Title: Re: REVIEWING THE SITUATION
Post by: bk on April 25, 2025, 11:22:50 PM
We had about fifty-three - but if I could bottle these particular fifty-three and play every show to them, I would. An amazing audience, with the show from lights up right to the end. HUGE laughs throughout and really hefty mitts and cheers for the numbers.

Our recording Bob was there - Jason Graae - and he loved it. Actress Elaine Heylveil was with this - I adore her - you've probably seen her in something - just imdb her. But I knew lots o' folks and the comments after were lovely. I did run backstage to tell Sydney how proud I was of her.
Title: Re: REVIEWING THE SITUATION
Post by: bk on April 25, 2025, 11:25:03 PM
Hopefully, she can power through the last two shows. She can sleep in, rest and relax tomorrow, so that's good.

I've been told my any number of Group Rep members that they think this is the best production the theater has ever done.

And we got the final news that we'll be doing the show I've been mentoring for the past two years either in mid-January or very early February. We'll go into rehearsal in early November so we allow plenty of time for the holidays. It's a really interesting two-act play with music - twelve songs, I think - it's very funny but its themes have a serious undertone.

And in other news:

Former Rep. George Santos sentenced to more than 7 years in prison (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/former-rep-george-santos-sentenced-7-years-prison-rcna202397)

The former Republican congressman criticized the judge’s sentence on social media and called on President Donald Trump to intervene.

Locolonic,
Where the wind's escaping your behind,
Where the waving wheat that you might eat
Keeps you feeling fleet while you unwind.

Locolonic,
Every night I'm regular at last
And it feels so swell, don't mind the smell,
Yeah, the smell will dissiptate real fast!
