Clarion Clarity

I was ever so grateful the Thanksgiving holiday week.

It was one of the most FULFILLING weeks
I've had in a memorably-long time.

Monday/Tuesday before
was Fancy Christmas Concert® series
which I had been arranging for 14 months.

I'm proud despite work being 50/50 about it.
But work is sorta 50/50 about most things
so it goes.

[Want to learn more about the concert?]They were so

I can tell you had a wonderful holiday week. Busy yes, but joyful, relaxing, spending time with friends and delicious food. 🤗

so no complaints from me
except maybe
the want of some universal picture
which is not where my employer excels....

At my new company, I relate to this sentiment so much (perhaps in a slightly different way?). Happy to be a part of it, but kinda wish there was more want than need.

This could be fun to talk out... or just talk about together.

I love my company culture,... but they spend a lot of time putting out fires and making last minute decisions that could/should have been made weeks/months beforehand.

It's a bunch of people who work very hard... on digging their own tunnels and aren't necessarily that good of getting their individual tunnels to hook up to the whole network of everyone else's tunnels.

Oooh a female trombonist, wonder if I would know her. There are so few. I’ve met female hornists much more frequently. More than all that, I hope they were professional and good musicians to work with.

They were all DREAMBOATS.
I'll link you to the finished/produced performance video once it airs.

I expect females on the French Horn, and Flautists and such... but the trombone/trumpet seems much more male-dominated. My niece is taking up the sax and LOVES it had the same experience my female friend had in band 35 years ago of the band teacher going, "Are you SURE you don't want to play clarinet?? Why don't you play the clarinet?!" while encouraging boys toward the sax and away from the clarinet.

So weird to think this kind of passive sexism is still so.... um... "natural" for so many accidental misogynists people.

Very cool, thank you

I was impressed by a female conductor and female trombonist in such a small group. Both of those seem so traditionally male-dominated but without much logical reasoning

amazing

But I"m never surprised when you are!

All that music. Your spirit must be soaring.
