PAGE FIVE ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD DANCE!!

George · « **Reply #121 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:33:43 PM »

This is cool...here is a recording of Korngold's Suite for 2 violins, cello, and piano left hand Op. 23 (1930) (featuring Yo-Yo Ma on the cello) that show the score as the music plays.

George · « **Reply #122 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:35:02 PM »

They had two separate performances tonight: one at 5:30, and the other at 7:30...the same program, just presented twice in a row.

George · « **Reply #123 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:35:49 PM »

We all (us volunteers and the box office and front of house staff) were told that each performance would take about 45 minutes.

George · « **Reply #124 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:36:06 PM »

Well, it did NOT take 45 minutes!

George · « **Reply #125 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:36:16 PM »

I was actually a half hour longer!

Page 5! Thank you, George.

That really isn't a horrible situation, but that didn't leave as much time in between the performances to get everyone out and ready for the next audience.

George · « **Reply #128 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:37:56 PM »

Actually, it turned out that it really wasn't much of a problem.

George · « **Reply #129 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:38:19 PM »

Everyone loved the concert, and they got a fairly deserved standing ovation.

TCB · « **Reply #130 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:38:45 PM »

Apparently, the bomb cyclone we had the other day was just a warm up for the new one tomorrow.

George · « **Reply #131 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:38:47 PM »

The crowds were small, thought...the first performance had 54 presold, and the second performance only had 40 presold.

George · « **Reply #132 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:39:33 PM »

I think I'd heard that the first performance had fewer in the audience than was was presold, but the second performance had more people!

George · « **Reply #133 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:40:00 PM »

So, they probably balanced each other out.

George · « **Reply #134 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:40:54 PM »

When I first got there, though, the house manager said that the concessions had actually been cancelled!

George · « **Reply #135 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:41:04 PM »

What??

George · « **Reply #136 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:41:14 PM »

Why couldn't they have told me sooner?

George · « **Reply #137 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:41:39 PM »

So, I had the option to leave, or to just stay and watch, or stay and help out.

TCB · « **Reply #138 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:41:43 PM »

They won’t know exactly where it will hit the Pacific coast until tomorrow morning, but they expect it to hit north of Washington state.

I stayed, and the other concessionaire and I at first were the ones to check peoples' Covid vaccination cards and their IDs to make sure that everything matched.

George · « **Reply #140 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:42:34 PM »

Just about everyone had both documents (we needed to confirm that the name on the card was for them).

George · « **Reply #141 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:43:35 PM »

A couple of people had the vaccination card, but didn't have ID, but we believed their partners when they said that the other person was their spouse.

TCB · « **Reply #142 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:43:42 PM »

Otherwise we would be having a massive wind storm.

George · « **Reply #143 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:43:57 PM »

But three (I think) people didn't have the Covid card, so they couldn't be let in.

George · « **Reply #144 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:45:10 PM »

Two of them (from two different groups) came to the first show, and were able to get tickets for the second show, so that they had time to go home and get their vaccination cards.

George · « **Reply #145 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:45:39 PM »

One guy, however, came to the second show and there wasn't enough time for him to get his card from home, so he just had to leave.

TCB · « **Reply #146 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:47:35 PM »

So, did you stop for food on the way home?

George · « **Reply #147 on:** October 23, 2021, 11:48:39 PM »

Nothing we could do about that. $:-\$

That is when you need to take a photo on your cellphone.

Yes. After the concert, my friend Margo and I went to Applebee's.
