11/14/13 6:45 am

A few auditions to start off the day.  I had very limited podium time today.  I did some score study and observed as Mr. O ran rehearsals. The stage is considerably warmer than the rest of the school, so a lot of students needed help with tuning. The acoustics in the auditorium are quite nice.  I spent a lot of time in the house assessing balance.  The concert orchestra had a full rehearsal with winds and percussion. The trumpets have trouble blending and there were a few points in the full orchestra pieces where the winds in struggled in general. I had the opportunity to run sections of the Elgar with the symphony orchestra.
