pedantherSo, how about that coronavirus, huh?
This weekend was going to be a very busy one for the band, with a performance at the monthly markets this morning and the rest of the weekend devoted to a series of workshops with a visiting conductor to get us into shape for the Nationals next month. Then the Nationals got cancelled because coronavirus, and then the markets got cancelled because coronavirus. So it's been a much more relaxed weekend than I was anticipating.
Swancon has also been cancelled because coronavirus. This has brought me to a realisation: for years, I've spent every Easter weekend at either Swancon or the Nationals, and now they're both off the table. Unless I come up with a plan quickly, I may be obliged to (dramatic musical sting) spend Easter with my family.
In more cheerful coronavirus cancellation related news, Broadway's Laura Benanti has created a Twitter thread for students whose school musicals have been cancelled to post bits of their performances. The performances themselves are great, and many of the stories are charming, and the thread itself is generating a few interesting moments of its own (like somebody posting a video of their school production of Matilda and getting an encouraging comment from someone who's played Matilda professionally).
