     Last night I watched The Merry Widow with my mom and I really liked it! As I explained in an earlier post, it's a sort of hybrid between a musical and an opera so I went more out of curiosity and although I wasn't the hugest fan, I can easily say that I really liked it for what it was. Here are a few pictures (I don't know why they have to lined up like this, I couldn't get it to look nice.)!
   
     Anyways, today was supposed to be a regular day time-wise, but after spending MLK Day transposing the bassoon parts of Kiss Me Kate to bass clarinet and listening to all the songs, I realized that I really needed to practice with the orchestra a little more, especially since the sitzprobe is right around the corner. Mr. Lemma also wanted me to come in as many times as I could so it was a win-win situation. Rehearsal was ok, but overall very fun! We sightread the last few pieces which was rough, but I really enjoy pit and I had a really good time so no worries! I'm just really glad that I'm able to play in pit this year in the first place. :)

     So when I went to see The Merry Widow yesterday, I saw Stuart and he told me about the name tags I made earlier this school year and how they need some revising. So as soon as I got to the office, after asking Stuart how he liked last night's show (he thought the same things that I did), I fixed the name tags. The things that needed fixing were that they wanted the names to also be on the back of the name tag and that there were some new students who needed name tags. Printing was a pain so that took about an hour.

     By then, it was time for the social media meeting so we planned posts for the rest of the month. Our film campaign is going so well, I'm so happy about that! :) My Silence of the Lambs post was also decently popular-- I have to remember to retweet that! The staff meeting afterwards was nice, short and sweet. Naomi needed someone to staple a few booklets for her so I offered to help and it didn't take very long so I was glad to help!

     For now, it's off to continue working on those master posts!
