First, about the pit orchestra-- we don't get enough recognition.
Okay, Sam, I know what you're thinking-- "You guys are just extra people who didn't have talent for anything else and are taking up room in our changing rooms." Okay, quick thing-- your dressing room is the BAND hall. OUR room. We're just giving it to you cause you don't have a better place to change. (Not you, specifically, Sam. Don't get offended. I mean... like... everyone. Or everyone else.) And, like, Candle said, without us, there is no 'sound of music'. (Hahaha.) And to those who are dancing that one waltz and STILL don't appreciate the orchestra, well, guess what, without our music you don't have anything to dance to. Unless, of course, you want to sing it yourself.
The performance.
FUN.
And long.
But mostly fun.
The end... that feeling was like... whoa...
I love it.
It's what I live for.
Did you feel it, Jestar?
It was amazing.
And then I went out into the lobby where everyone else was. I went with my violin case so that people knew that I wasn't just a random person who came to watch.
We looked at the pictures on the computer... and some of them were hilarious! Rodd was being... well, herself, and saying, "I like that picture of me! Oh, look! Me! ME ME MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" (Well, no, she didn't really say that last part... but you get the point.) And when I told her that the song she sang, 'No Way to Stop It' was my favorite, she goes, "Yeah! I love all of my songs! Wait, it was your favorite??" I guess that last question was fair, cause apparently she's not a good singer. I think she's okay when she's on key.
I think Rice should have gotten a bigger part. Well... he's reaaally good at the part he has now...
It would just be awkward if he was Captain von Trapp, cause... yeah.
AND THEY PUT ME IN THE WRONG SPOT ON THE PROGRAM!! They put me in Second Violin. NO. I'm in FIRST VIOLIN. And it said that Happy's dad was in First Violin, but, no, he plays VIOLA.
But that's really okay, as long as they didn't leave me out.
Aaaaaaaaand I have to go practice violin now. It's 11:42. Eeeeeeeeh.
Play Week.
