The LCCB concert on Saturday went quite well (for LCCB concerts). I made (mostly) new-to-me mistakes, and didn't have any unintentional solos, and that's really all I ask. Tuesday was the first rehearsal for summer, and based on the signups, the section leader has moved me down to BSax for the summer. sigh. I mean, I *prefer* bari, but it's a lot of work in the summer, when I've got to haul stand + chair as well.
The weather has been continuing its "nice on days I can't garden; rainish/chilly on days I can", so today is the first day I've been able to get out there. I've filled the garden cart once, and then it rained a bit (and I was hungry), so I took a break. I'll be able to fill the cart again today.
My work computer didn't turn on yesterday. I checked all the cords, etc; and texted IT. He said "take the day off. I'm elsewhere today and can't get to it until tomorrow." But I had things to do. BossClerk was off at at meeting, so I logged in using her computer and did the things I needed to do. Then we started doing election things.
The FCB concert on Sunday is going to be pretty good, I think. I will be very glad when setup is done, as it's not an easy space to use. DC and BM and I have been making it very clear to people that they will probably not be in the same relative position within the band - space is limited and oddly shaped - but the set crew will do their best to give everyone sightlines. Complicating matters is the scholarship presentation -- we need to provide routes for the recipients *and* the committee members to get out of the setup -- and a guest conductor from the Tuba section who also needs to get out of the setup. whee?

"Home" concerts (at Farmington sites) are sometimes recorded for the local-access TV channel, and sometimes the band's video crew (not J - he's audio) will set up a camera at the back of the auditorium and stream the concert via FBLive and it may eventually get posted to YouTube. It's all very inconsistent.
Livingston's concerts are never livestreamed/video recorded -- no-one's ever asked.
J does audio recording of the concerts, and those get posted to his audio.com account.
