Runthrough

Last night's run through was great. I had originally hoped that we'd do the percussion this evening, but two factors contributed to that NOT happening.

First, Noah was not feeling well last night, so I sent him home early to recoup. That left Spanky and Kamahni without a ride, so I agreed to shuttle them home. That worked fine until I got back on the 101 South to find that traffic had been detoured off the freeway for bridge construction on Victoria. I missed the first turn and wound up going the wrong way for the detour. Thirty minutes later, we were finally back on the 101 South to Kamahni's house. All things said, I was home an hour later than normal.

Second, I do have a day job, and we happen to be in a bit of a crunch right now to present some of our work to the executive steering committee in about two weeks. My morning was tight and my afternoon is even tighter, so where I would have normally used lunch to work on the percussion, I couldn't.

Fortunately, I had Leanna call the cast and let them know we'll be doing another run through tonight. Practise makes perfect, and, since we're opening in a month (to the day), we need a good run through more than we need a weak percussion learning session. Perhaps later this week or this weekend.

For that very reason, I believe we're still going to have Wednesday's rehearsal rather than give the day off as we have done for the past two weeks. Maybe when we're a bit further along, I'll go back to that, but not this week. Sorry.
