I had another one of those moments where I thought maybe I will just take a leave of absence...and then I saw it. The review for the orchestra concert last Friday night.
This school is outrageous. The review was not complimentary, it basically said that the concertmaster thought that the orchestra was going to fall apart in one of the pieces. They actually quote her saying that. Amazing morale boost huh? Then, the review goes on to say that the group is primarily inexperienced undergraduates who need to take a good listen to the concert recording and then compare it to more experienced groups to see how it stacks up.
Ok...there are so many things wrong with this I barely even know where to start. All I know is that I want a copy of it to put in my file of evidence of how horrible this environment is.
Wow.
I am missing my USO/UPO and any Aspen Music Festival concerts right about now.
Wow.
I was shocked. Still am actually.
I packed up another box today to mail home. It feels good to know I am leaving.
