McMillan Marathon

This is an event that happens twice a year I believe, and for me, that is twice too many. There are many great singers in this studio and beautiful pieces are sung. Orianna never fails to have a funny piece that will having you humming by the end of it, and many of the people on the stage will probably be on an opera stage in a few years. But my overwhelming feeling at the end of this event is "I WANT THOSE HOURS OF MY LIFE BACK!"
I am not a vocalist and I go to support those in the studio who I know. Occasionally also because I need to catch up on some sleep. So for those of you who haven't yet been warned: If you are invited to this studio recital and the person inviting you is not at the very beginning of the program here are my suggestions.
1. Claim to have a class then. If they don't know your schedule, they won't be able to tell if you are lying.
2. Have a test the next day that you simply have to study for.
3. A friend has an emergency that you have to be there for. This covers a multitude of sins.
4. Death in the family, or best yet, your death. Calling in dead is always good for a few laughs!
So on that note I leave you. Congratulations to all who sang tonight. You did a wonderful job. I apologize for being so touched with sarcasm.
