I started Les Mis rehearsals last Monday. Last night was the first rehearsal combined with the cast at Moonlight. It was neat! We pretty much ran the show with a few stops to get a feel for how it all works. It's long! Close to 3 hours with intermission and since it's an opera, it's constant music. It's one of the most difficult musicals to play. The notes themselves aren't too bad, but the counting and the constant meter changes combined with stamina and hardly any breaks make it difficult. This morning, we had another orchestra-only rehearsal to brush up on a few things before tech weekend (Sunday-Tuesday). BTW, this is going to be such a great show. Some of the days are already sold out, so get your tickets and come see me play!
After Les Mis rehearsal, I drove to La Jolla to have a quartet rehearsal for a wedding. Then we all carpooled to Point Loma where the wedding was held. This house was AMAZING! The backyard ended at the harbor. The wedding party drove up in a boat and walked up the pier instead of down the aisle. It was one of the neatest weddings I've ever seen. It was very windy, though, and our music kept blowing off the stands. I'm not sure why we forgot clothespins.
Yes, this is their backyard (or rather, backharbor)
I thought this was absolutely adorable. They put a garter around the dog and put it in the wedding party.
