A parable.
When the physician prescribes a medication for you and instructs you to take, say, 3 a day for seven consecutive days - don't stop taking the meds at Day 3 just because you feel better!
It's called a "course" of medication for a reason ;-)
Every group made enormous, significant progress this past week and a half.
You really heeded instruction and you Took The Musical Meds.
It's now Day 3. You are feeling and sounding much better!
And - you are not done with the course of medication.
Use this "hiatus" to devote more time and careful attention to your music.
Plan your work for the day. Make a little chart to track pieces worked on, days worked, and specific tasks and accomplishments for each piece.
Something like this, perhaps -
Listen to the choral recordings!
Go over your specific part(s)
MAKE SURE YOUR CONCERT OUTFIT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED, PACKED UP AND READY TO TRANSPORT ON FRIDAY.
There's still a long way to go before April 21. Every day is crucial to our individual and collective success.
Eyes on the prize!
In musical solidarity,
Lee
