Man i am so fucking tired of this orchestra
#like i guess that can be expected it's my 9th straight semester but also it really dif used to be better under the old prof#like it's basically a lab orchestra now were conducted by students more often than not#so a not insignificant amount of our time is just the prof telling the conductors shit not at all about the actual orchestra#also it used to be a string orchestra and while i do like some of the rep we've been playing it's not as much fun for the strings#which !! the winds are a bunch of music majors with other ensembles and private rep and stuff !!! but most of the strings this is it for us#and that's not even touching on the Stand Partner issues. maybe im just bitter about being demoted to 2nd AGAIN#but my stand partner is not good at orchestra etiquette so i end up doing page turns AND marking up the music#and sometimes having to explain stuff to him bc i know more and an probably better#partially my fault because i didn't practice the audition music as much as i should have I'll admit#but also we have to prepare solos for the auditions now which. i haven't taken lessons since spring of 2020 i just have olddd rep#again. we didn't do that for auditions before! it was ONLY the excerpts.#idk it's like we're simultaneously being hung out to dry and condescended to I'm just tired.
