I'm back from an enjoyable but -- though long in actual time -- an all too brief RAGTIME read-through, in which we read through and rehearsed maybe a third of the score. And we don't meet again till next Sunday, which is Tech Sunday, when presumably we will be playing through the whole show. It's really sad how little time (money) is allocated for orchestra rehearsals in regional shows. But man, I am loving the score, it sounds like the orchestra will be good, and though there are three keyboardists, all of the good sh stuff is mine.
