jennlkNext time for sure! But I did get keys, and there is a call in to the security provider to get me a code for the alarm system. And I'm listed on the internal employee/staff list (mailing address is wrong, and it has a personal email address rather than the work one, but I'm on the list!).
Farmington band has been much more freeform than usual, and it's weirding me out. We've had only two rehearsals this month anyway (legal/school holiday one Monday), and both of them have been short. Maestro planned on doing a piece this week, but only about a third of the band actually had copies, because the music team had collected originals after the last rehearsal and were supposed to copy them and distribute copies, but didn't. And then there's the music that was put in the folder in September and about a third of the band turned it in in December because they didn't read the Keep This Music list correctly. sigh.
Perhaps to keep things balanced, Livingston has been more difficult than usual. It's a very ambitious program, and I've been doing more flailing than I usually do in that band. We're down to two saxes (plus a tenor when she doesn't have a contra-alto clarinet part), so I've got some 2nd alto music in my folder as well as some 2nd bassoon parts. Yesterday I was playing Bass Clarinet cues off the 2nd Bassoon part -- it's been a few years since I transposed on the fly, and I messed up.
And today it snows.
