A Snow Day?

Tomorrow is a snow day.

It's a strange experience to have a snow day as a college professor.  I don't like particularly like snow days.  I like my students.  I want to have rehearsals.  We have a rehearsal schedule to keep so I can give them tools to have a great concert.  Not to mention, I've lost other rehearsals this semester due to other reasons.  Maybe I would feel differently about a "snow day" if I hadn't lost those rehearsals.

So, I sent my singers an assignment.  Really, it's not a big deal, but I do need them to hear the music and keep it in their head.  So that's what I did- I emailed them some links to our pieces so they could listen to them.  I'm normally against doing that, because I never want students to get a certain idea of a piece stuck in their head.  In this case, however, I'm feeling almost desperate.  I meet with my non-auditioned group only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  So, I won't see them until Thursday now, and it will be after an entire week.

So tomorrow I will be working on music and putting together some editions for future use.

But I'd rather be teaching.
