Once a year, musicians are allowed to invade the library and make noise. We call it a noontime show, which is part of our summer gala.
There is a community orchestra, which grew out of a student one, which I often 'ring' for. By now, I think I've played most of their pieces at least once. Then the conductor of the group surprised me with a few new numbers, but I figured that there wasn't any problem and practiced them at home.
Of course, it wasn't going to be that easy. I arrived for the rehearsal shortly before the actual concert and it was decided by popular vote to change one of the pieces - which I had down - and they substituted it with one I'd never seen before. Apparently I'm a good sight-reader: no one noticed that I bluffed my way through, and NEVER made a mistake. I didn't get any pictures of the larger group performing; however, I managed to get a few shots of the cello group, Cellocracy. And I noticed a little sign above the area where we were playing...
'Quiet Area', lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd good job on winging your way through the piece. I've had to do the same for dance every now and again--definitely not fun!
