It's not a slop-let, it's a triplet

The title of today's post is John's funniest quote from last night.  I'm sure there were some other zingers, but that one was so entertaining, I actually wrote it down.

For those of you who read music, you know that a triplet looks like this:

The trumpets were practicing a part together, and rhythmically, it wasn't quite there.  So, in an effort to really get the best effort out of them, John says, "It's not a slop-let, it's a triplet."  We all had a good laugh, and just like you'd expect them to do - they eventually nailed it.

But, we all go through our paces of being called out like that (as sections or individuals).  It's part of the rehearsal process.

Overall, I think things are going pretty well for this concert.  There's a lot of GREAT music.  I think it will be an enjoyable concert to perform or to attend.
