Procrastinating on that Shakespeare paper... there comes a point when you're just too tired to care anymore. At least I'm onto a third single-spaced page, and it's supposed to be 7-9 pages double spaced, so there's something.

Beethoven rehearsal with orchestra was disastrous. Both the orchestra and the chorus have a lot to work on. We basically fell apart in the presto finale section. There are rhythmic as well as other problems. I hope we can iron stuff out before Saturday night; I want a great concert for a great piece but I don't know how well we'll do. I think part of it is getting used to being off the stage (on the balconies/side steps of the concert hall) and not having John in front of us the whole time. I've done it once (in high school for Brahms Requiem) and it was tough then... I don't think it's any easier now.

Best of luck with your paper--I'm hacking away on my Psych paper right now. And good luck on getting sleep, too.

Err. To say the least. At least 50% of the alto section did not seem to know the part at all. I'm a bit worried.

yeah... i think there were maybe two or three sopranos who actually knew what was going on. half of us just gave up and didn't sing... the other half sort of shrieked on demand, giving no attention to what note/word was actually printed on the page. I sort of oscillated between the two options. feels like i'll be doing the same come saturday. oh well.

But isn't that what sopranos always do? ;)
