I'm still freaking tired. Last night was the preview show for Copacabana, which actually went over pretty well, considering Mr. Clark rewrote the ending on Friday, had us rehearse half the day on Saturday, and made the rhythm section - no wait, just me - teach the band how to play the finale all over again because the ending had changed completely (damn you Mr. Clark). Sometimes I wish he'd cut us some slack. I mean seriously, we ARE the best musicians in the state (7 out of 10 of us are in all-state band; those who weren't just didn't audition).
I was showered with compliments about the musicians after the show, and told how I was a critical component (aka Clark's punching bag), and how awesome we looked and sounded on stage and blah blah blah. Oy. I just need some rest. I also need to go over a few things like fills and comping chords for stuff like Dancin' Fool and Aye Caramba, in the event of a slip-up like Matt Goff forgetting to play the solo last night or if we do instrumental only for a number.
The night before, I had gone to see "Ruthless" at MTC with Katie. The production was very well executed, but I'll have to say that it was the most schizo thing that I have ever seen. It's also the first MTC production that I've seen that tops Nunsense in raciness. That takes talent.
It also takes talent to put off all of your homework for this week until now and still manage to get it done in time for tomorrow. But I'm not that talented, so I'd better go finish it before I get snuffed...
