jaalaI took decisive action today and... didn't show up for my Queen's Student Opera Company orchestra audition. How inconsiderate of me. This was for several reasons.
Now, if I get into the QMT orchestra and the QSOC cast, I don't know how on earth I'd handle both. Having the performances in different months would help, but.... I may ask if it's still possible to apply for QSOC Assistant Stage Manager.

Completing the musical round-up:
Two Choral Ensemble rehearsals have come and gone. We're rehearsing in a lecture hall where the seating and acoustics are absolutely wretched. Aside from that, it looks like it will be a good time. We're singing Vaughan Williams and "Shenandoah." Stephen Hatfield, the man who writes directions in Jesus Met the Woman at the Well like, "a deep groove with a strong backbeat-bass line rich and woody, like a stand-up bass," is going to do a workshop with us. The director is slightly eccentric and fruity as they come. (Those who know me will surmise correctly that this is not a negative comment.)
The second church choir rehearsal was just as enjoyable as the first. Another student has joined, another alto.

I'm already well behind on my course readings. Feh.
- I'd rather play Gershwin until January than double Donizetti melody lines on flute until March.
- If I can get in (still working on that), being in the chorus of a comic opera would be a helluva lot of fun. The stage action would be more interesting this year.
- If I get into the Crazy for You orchestra, I would rather not have to learn two orchestra parts.
- Frankly, my flute auditions so far this year have been harrowing experiences. And I didn't practice yesterday.
- If there's only one flute part (which is what it looks like most of the time), I didn't stand a chance in hell against the people who were listed on the sign-up sheet anyhow.
