The stops and starts of tech rehearsals usually don't give a true sense of the demands of an uninterrupeted show. Pacing the show as performed is the real goal. Don't play too loud on the bows until you get to the last page. Even then, take it easy and you'll increase your chances of hitting the high F# at the end (!).

A very short while ago Lon had called in to the theater right before a performance. He eventually wanted to talk to the trumpeter (me, that night) about mutes in the trumpet book, to relay info to a trumpeter that was going on tour with the show. That must have been you! Lon is a great player and show conductors don't get any cooler than him.

Have fun and let us know how it is going.
