I've been drumming 12 hours a day. If you read the previous post, you noted that I was moving to front ensemble. They needed a xylo player, so Dr. Super put me there. What I had forgotten was the email he sent out saying that if anyone was interested in playing, they should audition. I didn't have to do that, but when he played the "cheezy midi file" (Sibelius' default play back), I noticed that "the pit" was very much "in the front" of the show. I also noticed that the xylo is VERY prominent. So much for the idea of switching instruments so that I wouldn't have to practice quite as hard. Now I'm working on scales, diminished chord arpeggios, and just playing fast (parts of it are around 230 bpm - I'll be playing almost 500 beats per minute, about 8 notes per second.)
Why room 101? It's the senior recital hall, where we've been practicing. If you don't remember, room 101 is also very prominent in 1984 as the place where Winston betrayed Julia. What is in Room 101? The keyboards!

Oh yeah, I forgot. See "Thirteen" here.
