This week's distraction
I have posted exactly nothing about chorus this season, mainly because it's a rather quiet season and our performances will be casual, free, and short. We're performing this weekend, actually, at the Redmond Town Center Christmas Tree Lighting on Sunday at 4 PM and 6 PM. (You Eastside people--come see us!) Tonight was our last rehearsal before the performance, and I admit to being a little freaked out at how much I don't know the music I'm to sing from memory in five days. The music that I do know, I know well, but I still have a lot of work to do on the the most complex piece we're performing. I have a feeling I won't be doing much of anything else this week. The altos are having a little sectional tomorrow evening. The more practice the better...but I really need to finish memorizing the music I don't know yet. I never let it go this long. It's been a . . . different . . . autumn.
In other music news, Marc Cohn's released a new album called "Join the Parade," his first new disc in ten years, and I couldn't be more excited. I also just found out he's playing the Moore Theater on Thursday night. If I didn't have music to learn, I'd be there without even thinking about it.
In non-music news, because my ironymaiden loves me, she sent me a link to today's Diesel Sweeties, which is accurate in ways I can't even begin to express.* I laughed out loud. I may have scared the neighbors.
*...especially the little sign that says "Philatelists use back door." Stamp collectors get no respect.
