Tidbit of Marimba
Day 3 of super weeks
Posted by Chris Carter: Sunday, June 7, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Sigh... This was a long day!!! I'm laying on the floor in my sleepng bag again, and I feel mighty comfortable actually because I took a good cold shower it was burnt up outside today... We didn't play too much today which was probably a good thing. Instead we spent more than half the day trying to figure out the electronics and hook-up for he marimbas, vibes and piano we are all microphones and it took forever to figure out which wire goes where and to what synthesizer.. But afterward we managed to figure it out, and Jacob spent the whole day changing the timpani heads and retuning them we all took a shot at helping him, cause that in itself can be a major pain.. With that over we practiced part 1 of the show for a good 3 hours and my hands got super tired but I survived. It's funny, you would think it could be hard to get tired just standing there outside and playing scales and notes, but it was hot, and my shoulder hurted and your body gets tired of brig in one place because you want to move, so I wish I was marching but then other times we just chill out. I doubted that the whole corps would sound good together but after the end of the day we gottogether and played and it was the greatest thing, I got excited because this how has got a lot of power in the first opening movement... I know it's lights out, but for some reason I'm not really tired... Hmm I know I will pass out soon...
