First Scoring Session

I can't even begin to describe how awesome it was... but I'm sure going to try:

After a grueling week of late nights, one by one everything fell into place. The changes were updated; the scores were completed; the pre-records were in place; the click track was assembled; the parts were copied. It was a lot of work but it was done right.

Every musician and staff member was recommended by my contractor, and everyone was absolutely wonderful to work with. The concertmaster, Belinda Broughton paid me the hugest compliment, saying "the musicians and I have decided we'll probably be seeing you again." Having Jasper on hand as an advisor was absolutely invaluable. He was able to translate my rambling and raving into something discernable that the musicians could understand. Jeff helped advise me on the score and the part preparation. And Peter and Damon both donated a lot of time and energy into helping me get the best final product possible. I couldn't have asked for more; I learned so much!

Thank you to everyone for your hard work, and for a wonderful experience!

And, of course, thank you to Carolyn for creating such a wonderfully creepy film.
