Countdown to Feinstein...

I'm counting the days until I get to head to Boot Camp--Michael Feinstein High School Competition Finals Boot Camp, that is. Looking through the list of masterclass and other experiences in store for us next week is unbelievably exciting! We will be working with Michael Feinstein, Sylvia McNair, Sandy Patti, La Tanya Hall and Jim Caruso, as well as performing with most of them Friday night at the final performance!

I'm in the process of checking off my to-do list: Picked my music (stuck with "Orange Colored Sky" and added Indiana composer Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You"), transposed the music, emailed it for the accompanist, got a new tux, practice, practice, listen, practice, practice. Tomorrow I'll be doing an interview with the Herald-Times Newspaper, so got a haircut today. Meanwhile, I'm assisting with One Step Above's productions of "Alice in Wonderland Jr." and "Disney's Cinderella Kids" which go up this week, meaning all day rehearsals.

So much to think about! I want to get all my ducks in a row so that I can head to Indy next week and just soak up everything- enjoy, learn and create. I want time to speed up to get to Tuesday, then go in slow motion throughout the week. 5 days and counting...
