This evening's concert

tpter1 · 05-14-2007, 08:28 PM

Here I am. In my suit, all sweated up and stuff, and floating on clouds. Our 4-8 concert went very well. Much better than I had anticipated this afternoon. Rehearsal with the 7-8 group was really tough slugging. Kids were simply not in the mindset to rehearse at all. Now that I look back, it makes sense that they were thinking about tonight, not the moment at hand. Nonetheless, it was tough and I was really, genuinely, worried for the first time in a long time. But they always pull it together when the curtain opens. I was so proud of all of them tonight for how much the put it together. It was nor perfect, to be sure (is there ever a "perfect" performance? That could be an interesting topic of discussion in itself).

One more to go this week; then the strains of Pomp and Circumstance and Coronation March will once again fill the bandroom and its surrounding vacinity. Life is good.
