What a day!
Stupid guy barricades himself in a condo at Stillwood and Briarcliff and all but one passage to Callanwolde are cut off. at 4:45 there are 5 kids in the room and no accompanist, no assistant director.
Started Biebl Ave Maria with PFM at the piano, going over parts by rote. Slowly but surely, kids trickle in and we keep having to go over the same stuff. What a waste of time! Brianne arrives after a time, but still no Billy. Finish painstaking work on Biebl.
Move on to Maria Matrem. It's already 5:40. Notes are OK, so worked tone and phrasing, tempo.
6:00-6:15 Worked on Welcome Christmas. Will work memory next week.
Sing-a-thon rehearsal will have to be a serious rehearsal if we are to recover the time lost from this ordeal. For Sing-a-thon, rehearse rest of Twelve Days of Christmas.
Housekeeping: Passed out Sing-a-thon talent sign-ups, publicity cards. Reminder about location of rehearsal next week--Callanwolde "Retreat" house.
