5.331 event, music

Sunday 10/27/2024

Quiet Sunday morning. After lunch I set up the auditorium for a rehearsal of the Appreciation Fund party. I’ve mentioned this annual event a few times before: there’s no tipping here, so once a year the residents run a fund drive to get donations for an annual gift to all employees. Tomorrow there will be a half-hour show in the auditorium followed by a party in the lobby, with lots of solicitations and reminders to people. Usually over 90% contribute, many giving more than the recommended amount, which this year is $1300. (I gave quite a bit more. I mean, that’s barely $4/day.)

Today the people performing rehearsed and we worked out the tech details, who needs a mic and where, what’s on the projector when, etc.

In the afternoon I worked with the MuseScore app, figuring out the fingerings for guitar chords for RATCT and putting chord symbols in the sheet music. Soon we have to actually start practicing that song.
