So today was BYSO performance of Marriage of Figaro. Personally, this is my favorite concert of the year (as Cosi was last year) because I love Mozart. Like a lot. It's bad when your favorite movie is Amadeus. Well, anyways, it was full of excitement. We had morning rehearsal then 2 hours off for lunch. So what'd I do? I followed people. Not in the creepy, stalkery following. But in the "wow, you know good food and I trust you following". And it worked. I ended up at Wagamama with an awesome group of people eating really good ramen. And I used chopsticks successfully. I was proud. Maybe I'm becoming a good Asian wannabe. And then we went across the street and got bubble tea. I love bubble tea. Lots. And lots. In fact I want it now. Meh, oh well. So I guess that adds to my list of requirements for college: 1. a trader joes in walking/subwaying distance, 2. bubble tea, 3. a good engineering/music program. And yes, that order matters.
So anyways, we got back and actually played the concert. I was quite pleased with how it went. The overture went very smoothly (di-ga-di-ga-da... okay, listen to it and you'll know what I'm talking about).
I will finish this in the morning. I'm currently much too tired to function which means I'm slightly too tired to blog.
Okay... so I meant to update this a lot earlier, but this past week has been more than nuts. So anyways, the opera was pretty much amazing. Except I had to pee. Starting at... umm the beginning. It's really painful to need to pee and need to play at the same time. And then by the time we got off stage all the audience had flooded the bathrooms and I so was not going to get to pee for the next two hours. So I instead chose to watch the rest of the opera. It was really good. Alas, my Mozart utopia is over. I love Mozart operas and depending on my future, it's possible that I won't ever have such amazing opportunities again. If only I were a year younger...
