Some of you asked to be kept posted about this, so here goes. I finally got the music-about three weeks later than we should have, and it was much more demanding that I had expected. A lot of key and time changes, and it's that handwritten music that's hard to read at times. I'm playing mostly tenor sax because I'm better at that than clarinet (only been studying clarinet about a year and a half). I will do some slow clarinet parts, including a few solo introductions to songs. After working on the music a week, I have made a lot of progress, and I'm confident that I'll be ready by opening June 4. I guess I really need to be ready when the orchestra comes in to rehearse, which should be about a week before show opening. I'm having a blast and really excited to picture myself playing during the show. The tenor sax has some great parts also. It's only a small orchestra--keyboard, drum, sax/clarinet (me), and trumpet, so it's pretty exposed. I'll keep you posted, and thanks to those of you who responded.
