How is everyone today? I haven't felt like writing these past few days, but now I do, so here goes.....
This weekend is not going to be fun one, I have band rehearsal on both Friday and Saturday, plus the concert on Saturday night, so my weekend is pretty much gone....the rehearsals consists on 5 total hours on Friday (3:15-5:00pm, 6:15-9:00pm) and another 2 hours on Saturday morning (11:30am-1:45pm)......yuck....
The reason for the excess amount of rehearsals is because it is the guest conductor concert where we get a new conductor (usually a college band director) and they do the show with us....this is my least favorite concert out of all of them because of the fact that we spend 2-3 months learning and preparing the song one way and then this new person comes in and we have 7 hours to learn how to do it their own way, which is a pain in the ass!!! I know that the reason behind this is so that we can learn how to quickly adjust how we play a song, but I still hate it....last years was the worst because the guy was from Australia and talked really fast, in an Australian accent to boot....most of the time we had no idea what he was talking about, so he kept having to repeat instructions and he also had a weird way of conducting...we weren't really sure what he was doing because he never seemed to be conducting the song in the right time...so that led to some trouble spots....hopefully this year won't be as bad....
