It is possible to suffer from strawberry yoghurt withdrawl, by the way

The concert went much better than I thought it would, thankfully. There were a few slightly sloppy bits with not cancelling out notes properly and some notes coming in a little late, but overall I'm really happy with our performance. We didn't really rehearse that much beforehand besides practicing switching bells for each piece. Apparently people liked "Trumpet Voluntary" very much, so much so that Pat, our fearless conductor, is convinced that we ought to play at Graduation besides at Coffeehouse (the student talent show) this Friday. Yay! And apparently I looked close to deliriously happy in the midst of the performance.

I think I'll find an arrangement of Charles Gonoud's "Funeral March of a Marionette" (also known the theme from Alfred Hitchcock Presents) just for kicks because most of the Electric Penguins looked very nervous and glum before we went on stage. I have a rather annoying tendency to mutter things like "This isn't a funeral dirge! It's the Radetsky March! Smile!" before performances. That, and for next year I'll attempt to make T-shirts and provide club pins for class ties. This also assumes that I will remember to do all of these things, so someone will probably have to mentally prod me.

On top of everything, I was able to review half of the material on the biology test tomorrow with Chelsea and zedhaus. I ended up helping Rachel with her paper on Singaporean totalitarianism/authoritarianism, although she didn't seem to believe me when I was talking about all of the censorship, torture, and secret racial eugenics that are still going on there today.

I still haven't written up my HGTTG review for tomorrow's newspaper layout, bleh. I'll post it up later, as I've said so many times before...

YES, I LOVE THAT SONG!!

Hitchcock is slowly becoming my new Lord and Master... Besides Stanley Kubrick... And a few other people.

I completely agree with you there. I've been trying to find a good *free* instrumental rendition of "Funeral March" because it's so nifty, but I accidentally lost my link. I do have the version used on Alfred Hitchcock Presents courtesy of my top 50 TV themes CD, hee!
