The Indie Game Big Band - One Year Later

[@hyphen8d725]

Man, its really interesting to see you walk through how running and managing this concert looked like from your end as one of the performers. Being a part of that concert meant a lot to me, and it still does, even a full year later. I'm very glad that I was fortunate enough to meet so many talented musicians and play some fun arrangements together. And it wouldn't have been possible without all the hard work you put in behind the scenes. This really shows just how much attention to detail you put into everything as well! I will be forever grateful to you for putting all this together, and getting to meet you man. Good luck in all of your future endeavors, on Rotomizer and life in general, you got this!

When you say that you wish more came out of the performance even though we ended u with a stupidly amazing final product, I can sort of understand that. There's always little things we got wrong-for me, it was aspects like not practicing certain sections for tone quality and intonation well enough and randomly playing a B natural in my cello solo from Journey out of tune. I imagine it's much worse for you due to being in charge of the entire performance. Simply from watching the concert, most people would have no idea how rushed the later arrangements were or all those song transitions you spent hours on in MuseScore but didn't quite get right to your standards-it's bad enough for us arrangers even when we have ample time. (Minecraft medley moment.) And after you got a better feel for arranging for the ensemble later in the semester, I bet you wanted to go back and tweak a bunch of things in your previous arrangements but couldn't because we'd already practiced them a bunch. And that's just the stuff that I can _relate_ to as a fellow arranger; I haven't even touched the technical or logistical aspects of the performance! The thing is, it's not even a half full, half empty glass kind of situation. We got a full glass and are mildly annoyed at not getting a tsunami. It's a perfectionistic tendency I've seen in myself and a lot of my other friends in fine arts that results in immaculate final products, but can mentally destroy oneself if not handled carefully. I'm glad to hear you're taking better care of yourself now, and I have no doubts that you'll succeed at whatever you choose to pursue.

@@TenorSine thank you my friend! You hit home on how it feels. Happy arranging!
