Backtrack: Back in the Crow's Nest at CLT!

This began 2 weeks ago and just finished yesterday.. I played in the "Aida" pit for CLT. The rehearsals (that began nightly from 7/29 on) went well and there was the usual pit relocation that always happens when fire lanes must be opened or hearing issues occur. I ended up in my "Children of Eden" spot in a corner on a board which had a sole purpose of being staging for putting a light up on.
Here are the views I got to see.


In the end, I had a system worked out for playing out of 2 scores on 1 music stand sideways. I had to stand during the show and of course the only way up or down was to shimmy up two walls. Lesson to everyone-- stay in shape if you want to work at CLT.

Great show. Please check out future productions. Maybe see me in the crow's nest for "The Whiz"?

Thanks!
