DC/Rehearsals

First off- we got into the DC Fringe Festival!  This is both a blessing and a curse as it puts us into a position where we have to notify DC of our attendance before we find out about New York.  Fringe shows are not super cheap or super relaxing to put on and we face the potential of having two shows this summer.  It is something we would love AND hate to do.  I think right now we're leaning towards going for it...


In other news, the last piece has fallen into my instrumentalist puzzle: I have a guitarist!  We had our first string quartet rehearsal this evening, and while it was very much a first-reading, they all sounded good and I am certain that they are capable of pulling everything off.  It's always a treat to hear one's own music actually being played... though sort of disconcerting when you have no idea where you are in the music and are basically useless as a conductor.  

Piano rehearsal is Wednesday, and voice rehearsal is on Thursday.  This weekend I put the finishing touches on the three or four songs that aren't yet finished.  After that, we'll have three weeks to put it all together for the WM recital.  Woo-hoo!
