Jul. 9th, 2016 07:52 pmFCB Stars in the Park concert on Thursday night. Hot and miserable on stage, and between the heat and lack of rehearsal time, we were quite ragged in places. The baritone soloist on the Holst rushed worse than he ever has -- I wish they'd stop letting him solo, because he always rushes.
There's a gig tomorrow evening, and one on Monday. I'm really unimpressed with the new FCB information team -- we still don't have a map or a performance order for either upcoming gig, nor a reminder/notice to bring a chair to Monday's gig.
I have decided to go to Band Camp at Interlochen and Musecon. There's only one day (Monday) between them, but reg for camp is 2pm Tuesday, so it shouldn't be too bad. It's been at least 3 years since I've been to camp... RS says that we should do a chamber ensemble made up of FCB members as there'll be three sax players from the FCB, plus a few others. :)
We got over 3" of rain on Thursday night, and then it stormed on Friday -- no measurement on that one as the bucket I'm using as a gauge got blown up against the deck.
