"We have a request...but we're going to play anyway!"
D.W.Q.M.: Barbara: "What's that awful noise?"
the First Doctor: "I beg your pardon... 'Awful noise'? A good way to talk about my singing!"
Barbara: "No, Doctor, not that awful noise -- the other one!"
I think we set a new record this weekend-for lowest turnout! Yikes! This past weekend we were at Mt. Carmel. We had 10 the first night, 8 for the procession, and 13 for Sunday night. We didn't sound too bad, considering our numbers. Our repetoire was severely limited, though. (and there were probably a couple of numbers we should have avoided.) However, we were still appreciated-and we stuck it out!!!
The standard joke for the evening:
Wayne: "We have a request!"
Pete: "But we're gonna play anyway!!"
Other fun stuff:
"How do you guys feel about 118?"
"With 2 (actually, 1.5) clarinets?"
"1.5?"
"I'm the .5!"
Jesse: "Can we Adenella?"
Me: "Should I leave and come back?"
Jesse: *groans*
Me: "It's his fault!" *points at Wayne* "He started the joke!"
For the procession, there were 3 perccusionists, 1 tuba, 1 trombone, 1 baritone, 1 alto sax, 2 clarinets, and no trumpets. Now, that's a hard procession to do. I think we spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what we could play-we had less than half of our music! It was rough, but we survived. :)
We also had our picture taken with the Pope! The church had a standup of Benedict XVI, and you could have your picture taken with him-so that's what we did! LOL-the Church has a sense of humor. ;)
That's it for now. Next up, procession at Collinwood, and then, the Feast!!! :)
