49 Minutes of Music on the Wall

Sometimes things seem to just work out.  For example, today I had no homework or class to do after 9:30AM due to a field trip which forced me to wake up at 7.  This means that I had from 9:30-3:00PM to work on music, from 3:00-8:00 to record that music, and from 8-11 to rehearse.  

Tomorrow I plan on waking up early and writing as much instrumental music as I can (all of the sung music, with the exception of one song, is recorded) before 11:45.  At that point I will go to the recording studio and do a final mix of the songs.  Afterwards, if I have more time, I'll work on a little more instrumental music and then go to the recital hall to do a sound check at 3.  From 3-6 I will work on organizing the music and putting sticky notes in my script to let me know when the music needs to be played.  If there's time, I'll also try to type up a survey and get it printed out.  If there's still time, I'll come up with introductory remarks. 

The cast had a great rehearsal tonight, and at the end I asked them some of the questions on the survey that we'll be handing out to the audience.  They had some fantastic insights and solutions to problems in the show... I can't wait to see what a full audience can find.

Overall I'm very, very excited.  How could I not be?  If the audience enjoys it, then great.  If they hate it, then isn't it a good thing we had a readthrough so that we have time to change the things to make it great?  There's a little bit of rationalization in there, but not much...
