Jen's Top 3 ways to embarrass yourself so thoroughly that you'll wish you were walking down the street naked in a freezing January Colorado evening instead of in orchestra rehearsal
1. Play piccolo. It’s loud, you can’t miss it, and there’s only one in the ensemble. That way, when you piss down your leg repeatedly, everyone knows it was you.
2. Practice the part, working on the hard licks most. Lather, rinse, repeat. Practice time is limited, due to children, various responsibilities, and the fact that the ability to concentrate for longer than thirty seconds is attached to a protein that is apparently in the placenta, gone forever after giving birth.
3. Eff up the exposed piccolo riffs in rehearsal so many times and in so many ways that the conductor asks what he can do to help. The only acceptable response is “I’ll have it by the next rehearsal.” Duck down behind the music stand to avoid the daggers being stared at you by the 100+ person ensemble. Call husband at the break to order him to put a bottle of wine in the fridge, no, it doesn’t matter what kind, as long as it is cold and already open when you get home.
And now, I must get back to that self-esteem bashing bitch piccolo.









Sorry you are feeling lousy! We have had the same crud here. Good luck on getting the boys into summer ...
Hope you feel better soon! What kind of computer did you get?
Yay, she did a post! I can't stand that I'm missing so many gtchats. Or maybe I should ...
Congratulations! And - good call on the old I shall never speak of this again!
Congrats!
