The Space Matters

About halfway through rehearsal tonight, I remembered.

Rehearsals are always chaotic and significantly less productive when we rehearse here. (“Here” is a just different room, having vacated the choir room to allow an extra warmup room for an elementary concert tonight.

I don’t know whether it’s the novelty of the space, the acoustics, the type of chair, or just a coincidence, but the one or two rehearsals we have in this room every year are reliable in their unreliability.

Sometimes we all get put in different spaces, though, and it’s important to both (a) react and adjust and (b) know what to expect.

Next time, I’ll remember and be prepared. I hope…
