I agreed to play in the orchestra for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for another school.   I had never seen or heard this show before last week, so I got the soundtrack from the library and netflixed the movie.  I <em>adore<\/em> it.  How did I get to be 31 years old without ever having seen it?!?<\/p>\n<p>But, two shows = twice as many rehearsals.  Today is only the second day back from winter break for both shows, and I&#8217;m already wondering what I&#8217;ve gotten myself into.  And did I mention there&#8217;s a band concert coming up at the end of next month&#8230;?  At least I&#8217;m not the rehearsal accompanist for Joseph, I&#8217;m just playing the second keyboard part.<\/p>\n<p>And now, I really need to go practice.  West Side Story, that is.  Have I mentioned how insanely, evilly difficult this music is?  I just got back from the most humiliating orchestra rehearsal of my life &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t even pick out one line to plunk out just to keep time for half of those songs, and in a few short days the kids are going off CD and I have to play for all the dance rehearsals.  Do you think if I put my ipod on repeat for that album and keep my headphones on all night I&#8217;ll wake up knowing how to play everything&#8230;?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because West Side Story isn&#8217;t enough of a challenge (you know I&#8217;m kidding, right?)
