Concert Tomorrow
If you live in Louisville and aren't doing anything tomorrow night, come hear my band give a Christmas concert. And keep me from having a nervous breakdown. I'm not good in situations like this. Just ask Spencer - taking a simple day trip out of town is enough to send me over the edge. You can imagine what I'm like when I have to organize an entire concert. And for goodness sakes I've done this before! Lots of times before. But it doesn't make it any easier. It's not me - it's the kids. They are crazy. Just wait - one of the freshmen will show up for the concert without their instrument. And one of the girls will show up wearing something waaaaay too short. And the crash cymbals will mysteriously go missing 10 minutes before the concert begins. These are the things that stress me out. And it doesn't matter that I've been warning them against such mishaps for the past 6 weeks. Oh, and the fact that no one in the entire school knows how to run the sound system in the theatre. Including me. Great.

I wish so badly that we lived closer. Clayton is the MASTER at those "things" that send you over the edge. He LOVES that kind of stuff....handling it, that is. He's also the sound guru so he could be your Concert Assistant and all would go well!
"Break-a-leg" Jen! Just remember how the kids did at concert festival last year.....they can do it!
You need to have someone secretly recording you 2 hrs prior to the event all the way through the concert and 30 min. afterward. :-)
Of course things are going to go wrong. No one comes to a High School concert expecting everything to go right. It's the things that go wrong that makes the event memorable. It's the things that go wrong that will make the story worth telling (embellished of course) to your grandkids one day.
My advise; Take a deep breath, smile, have fun.

Matt W can do your sound...HA...MO
Oh, Absolutely, Matt W is your man! I concur with MO!!! Jenny, it will be fine! As long as the kids are having a great time and can enjoy themselves, that is all that matters!JLH
