“While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I’m a naysayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I’ll gladly take another - because I choose to live my life in the company of Ghandi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.”

Work experience log – Day 2

So I met at the City Town Hall for the mass choir rehearsal! I was on registration for a while, so I had to deal with 50 odd teachers. Once all the schools arrived, I proofread another thing, then did some odd-jobs before helping organise the buses to get everyone out.

Beatley moments:

-The musical director was going through 850 songs for next year’s show. When I looked over, he was listening to Beatles LOVE.

-The mass choir warmed up with My Bonnie

Hopefully I’ll strike up a conversation about the Beatles tomorrow!

Okay, @sir walter raleigh, I was mid informed. We are seeing all 3 Shakespeare plays. The other one is As You Like It, which we saw last night. Tonight and tomorrow night we are seeing Midsummer’s Night Dream and Romeo And Juliet respectively. Then we were just seeing Guys and Dolls tomorrow afternoon, but now we’re also seeing Treasure Island as well this afternoon.

Work experience log – Day 3

The train network today was completely cactus. All because a car had broken down on a level crossing. 

Anyway, aside from that:

I did lots of scheduling, which requires quadruple-checking, apparently. A good majority of the team went to a pub for lunch, but I was one of three who stayed back. Just 135 minutes into their 45 minute lunch break, they arrived back from the pub…

Beatley moment:

I picked up all of my courage and asked the chief if there are any Beatles songs next year. He said ‘Well, I’ve copied the entire Sgt. Pepper ‘s album, plus and additional half dozen extra songs into the folder for consideration. I’ve been campaigning for A Day In The Life for the last four years!’ I quickly said that ADITL would be a great idea, for some floor projections and for the orchestra… That means there’s at least a 90% chance of a Beatles song next year!!!

I wonder if tomorrow can also provide a Beatley moment… It’d be too good to be true!

May I ask you, which job you’re trying out? Sorry, it’s probably apparent but I’m a bit confused by the various different tasks you have to do. Anyway, good job on influencing the chief on the ADITL decision!paul-mccartney-thumb_gif

Tonight, I’ll play a concert in the state’s parliament in an ensemble and as a soloist. I’m so incredibly nervous, it’s unreal. The funny thing is that I have to count one piece in and I keep forgetting the tempo so I sing ‘Here Comes The Sun ‘ now in my head before I count in to get the right tempo.

So, it’s a long story. I play in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular orchestra (which makes me the third best french horn player in a non-private school in Victoria), and it’s EPIC FUN! I asked them if I could get a work experience job for behind the scenes, as I’m also interested in that aspect, and they said yes!beatlemaniacs_02_gif

Hopefully I convinced him….

That’s awesome! I presume the song’s tempo is about 130BPM? a-hard-days-night-john-6

Thanks, that sounds like a super cool job, really! 

Oh, yeah and in some miraculous way, you’re spot on with your estimation regarding the tempo, third best French horn player of all of Victoria’s non-private schools!a-hard-days-night-george-10

Exactly what I was going for. a-hard-days-night-george-10 I don’t know how to make them smaller so they don’t take up the whole signature box, but I really wanted to use them!

^^Here they are a little bit smaller, is this of any use? You can also use this site, it’s fairly easy to adjust the size of any gif with it.
