That was nice....
Dec. 20th, 2022 08:48 amFCB Holiday concert was Sunday. I thought it went well -- a few infelicities in pitch (mostly noticeable in the first piece, because of course they were), but a well performed concert overall. Band peeps helped with strike, so we were out of the venue well before 5, with everything put away or at least into the rooms where they belonged. North Farmington is really a better venue for us than the Hawk in just about every way (the stage is a bit shallower, so the layout has to be squished), especially in terms of sound. I know *why* we play at the Hawk, but I wish we'd stop. The sax section leader (SL) has decided to pull off the switch we talked about at ABC last summer, in which the most musical tenor player moves up to AS1, and the SL moves down to bari. The section will be better balanced that way (4-2-2), *and* SL doesn't have to play AS1 anymore -- he says he's getting too old and slow to play AS1, but he was doing it because someone had to. Neither of the two people on AS2 wants to move up to AS1.
It took me almost 2 hours to get home from rehearsal on Friday -- the roads were just icy enough for people to think they were fine until they couldn't stop/steer, and I-96 was stop and go (mostly stop) for a few miles -- a semi had jack-knifed across all three lanes plus the left shoulder, so we were getting by on the right shoulder and the start of an exit ramp. The two exit ramps before the incident were closed because of accidents, so once you were on 96, you were committed. foo.
Other than that, not much going on. Have not been to work since early December -- I'm just a filing clerk so far, and we caught up on the election filing and the sorting of election and accounting stuff in storage files, so there's nothing for me to do. Next year, I get keys, training on the new accounting software *and* on the voter management software, and the IT guy should get me setup with logins.
The weather has been chilly but not cold (seasonable, I think they call it), although we are supposed to get some weird weather this weekend. We may walk to church on Christmas Eve, because I may not want to drive!
