Tonight we had a "dress" rehearsal for our Christmas vespers concert, which meant showing up in any type of clothes you wanted, just as long as you wore soft-soled shoes. The choirs sounded beautiful, in my opinion. No matter how much I may criticize or nit-pick either my choir or any of the others at the university, when it comes down to it, we all sound amazing. Especially in the chapel. My favorite part of the vespers service is when the chamber choir sings Lux Aurumque.
Cast lists for the spring stripped musicals have been formulated, but they won't be posted until tomorrow, since someone suggested all casting decisions should be approved by the voice faculty. That only lengthens the dreadful waiting period for the people who got callbacks. I swear, if one more person asks me to leak casting information, I'm going to shoot them with a rifle, which, by the way, I can legally purchase in the state of Oklahoma. But all murdering gestures aside, I'm really excited to play for another stripped show. Only this time, I'm the actual music director instead of the assistant music director, which means I'll get to do more than just accompany. I feel like I'm taking baby steps toward exploring music as opposed to just performing it.
Everyone keeps talking about Glee, and I feel out of the loop because I never watch it. It's not that I'm trying to be counterculture... I don't watch t.v. that often, and when I do, it's usually Bravo or the Food Network. I'm not a big fan of popular television series, except for Law & Order: SVU, and I haven't even been keeping up with that as much as I'd like to. No big loss, really. I'm not as dedicated a t.v. fan as most marketing directors would like.
I wish I had more sweaters for winter. I need to take a Wednesday off and make a trip to the Salvation Army. Wednesdays are half-price days, so says my aunt.
