Or to those of us in Orchestra also known as H-E-double hockey sticks Week (not really sure if I'm allowed to post that word here). This is the week that all of us in the orchestra dread. Monday-Wed we have dress rehearsals that are supposed to last 3 hours.. but they never do. Then Thurs-Sun we start the show. To make things worse I have to take an entire week off of work, I can still do pet sits, but that really doesn't pay enough. I get to spend around 3 and a half hours a day stuck in a tiny orchestra pitt with 30 other people. Then come Monday all of us are sick because we've been deprived of sleep and been in such a small area with so many people for a long time. And those of us who aren't funded by our parents starve the following week because we all had to take a week off work and have no money for food. :mad: But oh well, that's the life of a college musician. And the starving part is just the life of a musican in general.
