Counting down to CLOWN musical

Was looking at my schedule for the CLOWN musical...will be stuck in VT from 12nn till 11pm almost everyday for the week during the musical. Feeling abit of the stress oredi...5 more combined rehearsals at Trueway, 3 tech runs at and 2 full dress at VT...must polish and perfect my chords really quick!!

The pay-off is of course the experience and the fact that I get to play on a Steinway & Sons grand!! Probably the only time in my life that I would get to do that...and this may be the only time I'll be involved in a musical as part of the band. But then again...if another opportunity comes, I may decide to get involved again! After all, music is one of my greater passions in life. I've always dreamed of being part of the musical as one of the actors...but guess up till now, I don't have the courage to go for the auditions...the thought of acting and memorizing the lines is enough to freak me out!

But joining the CLOWN as a musician was a step of faith. I had initially wanted to join the choir...which I feel was the safest for me...cos there's comfort in numbers. But decided to push my limits a little and audition for the band instead. I must say the whole learning experience as been great. Learn a few things about playing as a band, and a whole lot of new chords!

Overall, the experience is great! And I'm enjoying it more and more as the performances approaches. I have no regrets being part of this musical...except that I have neglected my dear Hun ever since all my saturday evenings were taken up by the rehearsals since October...But still I appreciate your encouragements and support since the day I went for the auditions :)
