the other music teachers in the county and i have affectionately dubbed this week hell week. it’s kinda like hollywood week on idol, except there’s no promise of fame and fortune at the end of the road and we can’t send the loosers home. here is just a sampling of the musical events happening in the county this week:
- HONK! – produced by a local high school – 8 showings total
- SHINDIG! – a musical review produced by a different local high school – at least 5 showings
- Romantic Classics – a guest artist concert produced by the local college
- Java and Jive – a festival of music and coffee in downtown
- Jr. High and High School Band Large Group Festival
- Dead Composers’ Society Concert
there are a sprinkling of other things, but good golly. i’m involved in the pit for HONK! and i’m playing for romantic classics (both have a show on friday night). my friend (who also happens to be a housemate) is taking jr. high and high school bands to festival. i have a friend playing at the java and jive and another one playing at the dead composers’ show. if you don’t hear from me for a few days, don’t fear. i’ll be back when i’ve recouperated.
