She's back? maybe? orchestra drama
I threatened my stand partner (cuz she's first chair!). I've had enough of mess ups during a solo that you could play with one year of experience, not to mention 9. okay a few mess ups during sight reading whatever. messing up an entire week even though you practice almost every day...fine.
Messing it up an entire month is just downright....crappy. First she made a tied quarter note (which is two beats) three. that's kind of whatever. but at the end of the month she made a half note (two beats again) five beats! and she would've kept playing that note except that I waved my bow in front of the sheet music like 'stop! please just stop!'.
aaaaaaaaaargh
so I threatened her. that made me feel really good. She's playing terribly cuz she's nervous and she's a follower. I figure a threat to make her more nervous will either make her overcome her nervousness and play it right or it'll do nothing. If she keeps messing up, I've thought of a few schemes...maybe a few bruises...a broken arm...=D
I have so much repressed anger in orchestra.
...I've missed live journal. It's good to be back.
