Thursday morning
Jan. 25th, 2007 08:10 amI've been a slacker here lately.
Band went well on Tuesday night, though I think I was a little too teacherish. I need to watch that. I also want to be even more prepared for next week. I just want them to be prepared. I'm still thinking about what Randy said (about not being "buddy buddy" with the masses when you're a leader), and trying to reconcile that with how I see the band.
My brain feels addled. I can't remember things like I should. That worries me.
I need to make up a seating chart for the band so we can post it for the people that get there early to set up. This past week we had a bunch of chairs we didn't need.
Did I mention the band CD from the fall concert? It was good. Unfortunately my solo and Wicked were the worst tracks. Manatee (my directing debut) went fantastic. I think it sounded the best maybe 2nd after Candide.
So much to do, and not enough time to do it when it comes to the band.
I went up a pound today. Of course, I had chinese for lunch and went to the Red Door Tavern for dinner. It makes such a big difference in me whether I eat out or I cook- and I really make good choices while out. I don't know what the difference is.
I called Dave D yesterday evening to see if he was ok. He seemed not quite right at rehearsal. He hasn't called me back. I didn't specifically ask him to, but if you call someone and say "I'm just calling to see if everything's alright," it implied. I need to be more diligent in saying "please call me back," but I'm going to say something to him about it.
I'm sure there was more to write about, but I can't think of it right now.
It will be al ong day. Work, bell rehearsal, choir rehearsal. funfunfun.
