It has been a while since a blog post. I blame classes and work...and sleep (I am working on time managing that better). I do have a few exciting music-related updates though.
--I finally have the software I need to record again.
--I have upgraded my guitar gear and sold off what I no longer need (some of it).
--I may actually "like" the sound I am able to produce now!
Gigs have not been steady, but I just began a slew of musicals that will run (hopefully) until August. I just finished up Godspell at Cumston Hall in Monmouth with the Monmouth Community Players. Mike French, EOS founder and leader got me that gig on bass.
This weekend I will be playing an Easter concert on violin for East Auburn Baptist Church with my old concertmaster from the AVCO orchestra. http://www.eabcministries.com/
The following week begins rehearsals for Crazy for You being put on by the LHS drama club. I will be joined by some of the EOS band mates for this.
Starting in June, I will be joining Mike (EOS fame), and the Crazy for You pit again to play 13 the Musical for Community Little Theatre. So many EOS members together means that it will become a rehearsal between Acts!
At the end of June until the end of July I may have a rare opportunity. I was contacted by the music director extraordinaire for MSMT to possibly play for (and maybe even act in) a show. The contact came completely out of the blue, and if it works out, I may finally get on a coveted pit list. I will know more later, and possibly after an audition.
With Pippin happening a few months ago, this year seems like a musical extravaganza! Keep them coming!
BTW-- with so many EOS practices happening directly and indirectly (in pits), we will have a few weddings beginning in August to show off our sound. We have a horn section now, so hopefully they can get hired as well. Look for future demos and videos.
