music, music, music, and poor grammar

elsajeniThere is no convincing reason for me to feel this much better, but I had a 45-minute rehearsal with my piano accompanist for the Debussy Danses - recording them Oct. 20, fuck, fuck fuck fuck, but I digress - and now I feel so much better.
Oh. And I knew one of the crossword answers yesterday because I've been listening to Hair so much. Is that pathetic or what?
Anyway. I feel a lot better. I feel confident that I will be able to go and do stuff tomorrow. Football game... thrilling, yes? Promised Grant I'd go to the first game, but the first game was in Alvin, and this is the first home game (6th of the season... we're 4 and 1... but then again, we were 4 and 1 at this point last year and we didn't win another game), so I figure it's close enough to the same thing.
The show's probably going to be pretty good. They're doing stuff from Tommy. At least it's not the famous Swastika Show, which we did under Stricklin, the former band director. (He swore up and down that that was not a swastika. It was. The entire band agrees on this. People deliberately marched poorly so they wouldn't end up in a swastika.)
I also want to go just to see how Elliott's marching this year. He's going to Fort Worth for a tryout for the Blue Devils on Dec. 6. Very exciting. I hope he's good at marching. Playing pit you don't tend to be totally aware of who sucks and who doesn't, because they're all behind you. The only time I ever knew anything about the show going on behind me last year was when the trombones had a big sweep across the sideline and we had to move the pit further forward than usual to avoid getting smacked with trombone slides (and usually James Lee would smack me anyway, because he's an asshole) (I should perhaps note that James is one of my best friends in band).
Anyway. I have rambled quite enough for now. I feel much more better than I have any reason to feel, and that is probably the worst sentence I've written all week, and so with that I will leave you.
