Opening weekend is over. Friday’s performance was a shambles on my part; I got cocky and decided that I didn’t need to count rests, big mistake. Saturday and today went very well though, with today being attended by something like a grand total of 10 people; Friday’s and Saturday’s attendance were nearly full - 75 or so in the audience. Very enthusiastically received, though no obvious appreciation for the “orchestra”: at the end, the singers come out for their bows, the audience claps, and we play music. The singers leave, the audience stops clapping eventually, we keep playing. We stop. The audience doesn’t clap. What a bunch of yokels.
