I was in A Winter's Tale performed by the Concord players. I was mostly just a flautist playing one of the old taiko songs. It was an amazing group of people with a super respectful, amazing director. They only brought me in for the barest minimum of rehearsals. I felt very comfortable with being able to change the music to meet what the director needed, which made me feel competent.

I was feeling too busy with the rest of my life to really enjoy it, however. Mostly it was a lot of waiting since I was in one scene of a 2 hour play. I'm also a horrible actor, which I'm ok with. I think I also realized I like performing music better because you're allowed to make eye contact with the audience, which makes it easier to make that audience connection.

It was some good memories and I'm glad I did it. It also made me actually enjoy Shakespeare for once. :p

Concert 1 is done. It went well enough. I'm happy enough with it.

I made more mistakes in mahora than I've ever made, only one was really noticable, I think.

Kashmir and shinen were super-duper fast. We fell a little apart on kashmir.

Other than that, I think it went well.

It's amazing how fast it all goes, but I'm really glad it's almost over, even though I'm really happy to be getting this opertunity.

I'm looking forward to the people who are coming tomorrow. I think I'll get a few minutes to say high, then do pack up, then hopefully y'all will have stuck around long enough for me to have proper greeting.

I also hope the recordings of the show are good enough I can get a new icon! My kata SUCKS in that icon.
