more of the same, really

jennlkrehearsals continue apace. Livingston's Halloween concert is this Sunday. In theory, each section does a theme costume within the overarching theme of the concert. In practice, it seems as though the saxes do as little costuming as possible, and the Bsax (not me) often does something else entirely. This year, the concert theme is 'Heroes and Villains', and the music is a lot of movie music. I gave the section leader two different ideas for 'easy' costumes -- monochrome in muted colors (no black, no red) and be Innocent Bystanders or (j's idea) of white shirt/black trousers and a black G in felt safety-pinned to the chest as Generic Superhero. She muttered about them both, but couldn't come up with anything better on her own. So we're doing monochrome Innocent Bystanders. I have that costume sorted out. (good thing, too.)
Farmington's Halloween concert is Oct 30. Two rehearsals ago, we got a new piece of music for the concert, and I find myself in need of a light blue flight suit. And a blonde 60s wig. We're doing the theme from Thunderbirds, and there are people I know who will be extremely disappointed if I don't do something related. Lady Penelope usually wears a pink suit, but I'm not going there (most people would think either Jackie O or Delores Umbridge ... and, Just NO.). I did find a picture of Lady P in her International Rescue uniform, so I'm going with that. We were informed last week that we do not have access to the rehearsal space on Oct 24, so there is much scurrying around trying to find a place/time to rehearse. An added complication is that the concert is at The Hawk, so there's a component of moving percussion and reminding people that they'll need to bring music stands as there aren't enough there. But that's not my problem -- I just do what the voices tell me. :)
Although the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, and I need to do garden work Saturday and at least a bit on Sunday (around the concert!), so I may be a bit more time crunched than I like for costuming. Erranding today will include a trip to the fabric store for a pattern and fabric (I know which pattern, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find *some* fabric that will work. (Although I should check the stash first, I may have something in the depths.) And cat food and mealworms for that feeder.
more filing at work. That will increase as the date of the election nears. It's unclear whether I'll be able to go to Farmington rehearsal the day before the election -- DN should be available as she's actually co-chairing the election (and I'm just a minion on the AVBoard), but there may be too many things that need to get done. And with the state changing election rules as we go (better signage, more security, slight changes in procedures, etc)....
