 Re: First-time Pit Band Gig. Any Tips?

I just finished the show without any mishap. As this was my first musical I asked the others what they thought of the pit. They said it was quite spaceous by comparison. I was surprised to hear that the pro pit in the 5th Avenue Theatre downtown was one of the most cramped, basically a long and very narrow room.

So there was no problem with any of my horns getting trashed. The pit was under the stage so we couldn't see anything, apart from a TV monitor where you couldn't get much of a detailed view anyway. We are supposed to be getting a video of one of the performances so that should be interesting.

I did notice my bass clarinet C#/G# key no longer closed during the last show. Maybe this had something to do with the fact that I was using a bari sax stand for it, which was also a bit scary.

A couple of things I need for next time would be a bass clarinet stand, a piccolo that is actually playable above high F, and a stand shelf to store piccolo, post-it notes, etc.
