pride goeth before a fall and all that.

In other words, guess who didn't realize she had left her music behind until 5 minutes before we were due to start, and ended up holding up the entire concert for a couple of minutes while she and her stand-partner frantically xeroxed "Sheep May Safely Graze"?

I nearly died of shame and was seriously considering some sort of ritual suicide with my endpin. Well, maybe not seriously considering it.

But the concert was actually pretty good. Quite good. Mozart 40 is a great piece, and we did do a good job. This isn't going to go up there with Mahler #1 or Brahms #1 or Prokofiev #5 or Sibelius #2, or Pines of Rome, but… almost.
