Re: Update Update
I'm nearing the end of 3 solid weeks of Giselle - only 3 shows to go!!!
Tonight and tomorrow afternoon and night, then I might be able to become sane again (or at least a little closer to it)
It's a great paradox that some of the best music ever composed was written for ballet, yet so often it is a profoundly non-musical experience. We are very lucky to have a very good conductor for this season (Myron Romanul) but usually ballet conductors are chosen for non-musical reasons, and often choreographers arrange things to whatever count they have in their head - whether it relates to the music or not.
Giselle ranks right up with (down with?) Minkus' "Don Quixote Variations" as some of the most trite and meaningless music imaginable - and it has the extra "distinction" of having a long viola solo near the end. What else could you ask for......
Nevertheless, the light is showing at the end of the tunnel
Cheers,
Cam

Re: Update Update
My new tuba has been shipped, but I don't know if the gigbag got shipped. And I am currently buying one of those Silver-colored King (used and cheap) cases, because I heard that they can accommodate the tuba I am buying.

Hello all,
I'm now registered under my signature of tundratubist, I need the alerts to go a my personal e-mail address, to many were showing up at the work place. What a great place to laugh, learn, waste time, discover new things you don't really need, but surely must have, did I say laugh out loud even when you're alone. Gosh, I love this place.
You've been updated form the North Coast. Oh Yeh, Spring is here, and the ground is thawing out.
