This is the second time in the last year that I've done two shows at once - clearly I am an idiot.
Right now I have my Legally Blonde hat on, and have spent the last hour divvying up three keyboard scores to be played between two keyboard players - not hard, just really tedious. Then I need to figure out how to program a Kurzweil PC88 for the Keys 2 player. For my own setup, I'll be using Mainstage, and I need to finish programming the Mainstage concert this week, also.
The other show is more of a cabaret, and involves no programming of keyboards whatsoever - the challenges there lie in the amount of arranging/transposing and studying styles of pianists from different eras. Its been a lot of fun studying the music of the 1920s, and hearing musicians like Eubie Blake, James P Johnson and WC Handy. The stride pianists always make me want to practice more.
