Well, let's see what (if anything!) I can share about Epic Universal rehearsals without violating my NDA!
I was up at 5am to work on transcription. I'll probably have to do that again for the next two days, so I'll be an awfully tired wreck by Thursday. Oh well, suck it up buttercup. Left at 7:45 and drove to the address I'd been given for rehearsals.
( Rehearsal Day 1 )
It was a very, very long day. Exciting, fun, stressful, informative...and long.
Afterward I drove to Whole Paycheck (it's right down the street from the new park) and ate at the hot bar, picked up a few things for packed lunches, and drove home. Told Jameson all about my day, unpacked, packed a new lunch for tomorrow, did a load of laundry, set me clothes out, showered, typed up this blog, and CRASHED.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Up at 5am again, transcription. Submitted my first job and got through about half of the second job, so I may actually be able to finish it all tonight (though I won't submit it until Thursday, otherwise they'll send me another.)
Off to Universal. Another very full day of rehearsal, split with the first half of the day being music run-throughs and the second half working on the script and characters.
At the end of the day we had a sort of "situation meeting" in which availability and pay were discussed. Not going to lie, it wasn't the most reassuring meeting. But I'm gonna have to trust that our needs are being considered, and that things will work themselves out.
Ate at the on-site cafe and it was pretty good (got a personal pizza made fresh!) Will probably eat there again tomorrow for dinner.
Back home my bass trombone case arrived, and OF COURSE it doesn't fit my trombone :(
I will have to figure out what to do about that. The seller will let me return it but I certainly don't have time to deal with it this week.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday, I didn't have to get up quite so early and that was nice. But I woke up on the wrong side of bed, mostly from the stress of managing multiple jobs plus these rehearsals and worrying about scheduling.
Rehearsal today involved run-throughs again, and a lot of time with the script and practicing timing and movement.
We also got to meet a VERY special person who will be a part of our show.....and I SO WISH I could tell you about it!! But I can't!! ARRRRGH
As the day went on my bad mood wore off. I was excused from transcription for next week, and we are expected to get full time rehearsals again, so that was a big relief.
Back home, my enamel pin had arrived, so here is my merch!
Thermal "Opening Team" mug, Epic Universe lanyard, and the enamel pin
(which was bigger than I expected but looks so cool on the lanyard)
The Opening Team/Team Member enamel pin, which is much smaller. It's on my purse next to my Main Street Philharmonic Mickey pin.
Maybe they will fight to the death :p
And, I realized that my bass trombone DOES fit in that case!! I have to take the longer tuning slide off, but it will definitely fit. I feel like an idiot for not realizing this but one generally doesn't have to dismantle their horn to that level, usually. Well, I'm willing to do it so I can keep this case. It'll still need some mods but this is manageable.
Bell in the case:
The case, screenshot of the ad because I forgot to take a picture because it's been an exhausting week.
And finally....Jameson got his stitches out!! Yay!! He can start physical therapy in a few more weeks.
Meanwhile he's very happy that he can sleep normally without being so cautious of the stitches.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday: You guessed it: more rehearsal! I am blessed :)
Friday: Rehearsal again!
Saturday and Sunday: Catching up on house chores, starting memorization of lines and music, and hopefully cooking us a meal.
