The kids concert was a blast, even though I played just terribly in Batman. I don't know what happened, but at a certain point, I think I just need to give up on analyzing everything and roll with it. It's over, let me do better in rehearsal tonight, let me do my best in the performance tomorrow.
The kids LOVED the costumes, especially movie characters. They loved Jared as Dumbledore (I think?) and they LOVED Bill Paulick as Darth Vader. They LOVED The Simpsons! It was a great choice to start off the concert! Kyle was wonderful talking to them, teaching them in little snippets, introducing the instruments - he is just amazing.
But - partway through Chasing Light (which I don't play in, so I was offstage), the FIRE ALARM rang! We all had to file out, then the kids all went home, then all the slightly dejected musicians went home :( ... but still, in total, it was so worthwhile.
Of course there were the expected jokes about Chasing Light being too hot, etc.
