Sticks & Stones (pt. 10)
(the asterisks are coming -- I promise... but I had to get to this first)
In spite of the fact that I am still not totally finished with the orchestration, I sent about three-quarters of the score and parts to Pete Toews and Mountain View High School to read through STICKS & STONES. I was very, very nervous, and rather pre-occupied all morning. I knew at some point, they'd read through it, and after months of deliberating over every note and nuance of this piece, someone else would be deciding if this baby -- my baby, was beautiful or ugly.
Around noon, I received an email from the director:
"THANKS!! We read it this morning. COOL. The kids are really pumped up. We thought it was great. Can't wait to hear the end...Dude, you rock. Thank you so much for doing this for us..."
I tell you, it was like exhaling for the first time in months. THEY ACTUALLY LIKE IT!
