Snow Day!

No class today for the first time in my four years at William and Mary.  I was informed of this at 6:30AM when everyone's phone rang to deliver the news over the campus emergency announcement system.  Now, I'm not going to suggest that I wasn't happy to learn about getting the day off, but a part of me feels as though it is abusing the "emergency" notification system to use it for snow days.  Hurricane?  Sure.  Fire?  Of course.  Snow?  When all the power is on and no one has been hurt, perhaps not.  

Enough of that.

I've been recruiting instrumentalists over the past few weeks, and am now lacking only a violist and a second classical guitar player (though I have leads for both).  The pit, as it exists, is comprised of members of ATO (my fraternity), the WM Orchestra, the WM Wind Symphony, and former members of the Wind Symphony.  I had to reach out all over for this project because the instruments are not normally found together.

"My Love" is finished (for the purposes of the recital, but if Brent (Mr. C) doesn't like it I might change it a bit.  Working on "Music of a Dream" and all of the other songs that I wrote but that have been changed to 4-part pieces or written with different lyrics.  Many of these updates are more difficult than I would have imagined, but I am still confident that I can get all of the music to my musicians on the day they get back from Spring Break.  

If I'm not on my computer working on music this week, then I'm either eating, sleeping, or in class.  Or... updating my blog and procrastinating.
