Music Director's Nightmare
Friday, August 29, 2008 at 07:00AM Normally I'd post this under my Things I Actually Dream page, but in order to draw a little attention to that section, and because I think a lot of you will identify with the dream, I'm filing it here under Daily Posts.
One Wednesday night rehearsal right after I started being a paid music director (back in the 1900’s), there was a songthat needed a trumpet solo. Well, actually, almost nothing needs a trumpet solo, but that’s a different story. But there was a trumpet solo on the CD, and Lisa, who played keyboard (for those of you who might remember, it was a Korg M1. That’s how long ago it was.), wanted to know what to do. I said, “Play something in C.” She just stared.
