Last week I did a major "Stake Play Music Thing."
There wasn't a very large orchestra, but they needed two cellos. (because one of the songs had split parts.)
I asked my friend if she wanted to do it with me, and so it was all set.
The Cellos played in a lot of songs (the pains of playing the most beautiful instrument) but there was one particular cello solo with a small group (Away in a Manger) that was the most important.
Since there would be two performance nights, we decided to split the solo. She played Friday, and I played Saturday.
How do I put this. She totally bombed the solo.
After that performance, people were much more appreciative of the way that I play the cello. That part was nice. Sitting next to my friend while she embarrassed herself in front of the whole audience... not so much.
I also sang in a cute little musical number with a few Young Women "How far is it to Bethlehem."
We're singing that in Sacrament meeting around Christmas time too.
Our stake productions really are over-the-top. But it's fun to participate in, so there you go.
Practicing is work, so this is technically another work of the week.
(Funny, that I've been doing these since January without a problem, and then suddenly miss two weeks in a row... in the last month of my goal. Ah well.)
BUT you have been doing art work in your Drawing and Photography classes, right? You just haven't cataloged them--they totally count as works of the week, too.
