Fear of a Crash

So I've been playing one instrument or another in a group setting for over 22 years now as well as having participated in theatre and movie production, so I would like to think that I have a pretty good idea of what it takes for a show and performers to come together. I recall the "rehearsal" for this shindig on Friday that we had last Wednesday. We played "Oklahoma" great. Other than that with people not knowing the music and others not showing up, I figured we'd have another rehearsal or two (at least) before Friday.

Well, it's Monday, and I haven't anything about any further rehearsals yet. I would presume one for Wednesday (again, before church), but unless we get the full compliment of everyone together, we're going to have one frightening train wreck on Friday. After all, I know the source material for the show pretty well with only some moderate fogginess on a couple of songs and how they plan on doing the songs.

There was some chatter about a rehearsal yesterday after the morning service, but I never got a call, and of course, I go to a different church, so I wouldn't know. Who knows? They may have rehearsed and not told me. For all I know, the confidence-undermining minds over there found someone "that could actually play drums." Nah, I'm not bitter or anything on them. Of course they've done that before.

Anyway, my curiosity remains and I'll probably check with the organizer tomorrow to be sure of what's going on there to see if we're still on or not. It just worries me that no one seems to be taking these performances seriously.
