Just back from the second rehearsal. New music this evening, and some idea of what we'll be doing with the choir in the Christmas concert. The reason we're doing Finlandia again is because the choir wants to sing with us ('Be Still My Soul', I presume). This is positive news, as it will drown out the Second clarinet part. In other news, we're doing Zadok The Priest and the Triumphal March from Aida. The Tchaikovsky was a bit better tonight, helped by the fact that all the woodwinds weren't out for a sectional. I struggled to sight-read the Schubert (well, I struggle to sight-read everything), not helped the fact that they did some of it last week when we were out for a sectional!
Elsewhere, UEFA have told Christian Constantin where to shove his Toblerone, but he still refuses to listen to anything other than the sound of his own voice. His latest pronouncement included references to a possible prison sentence for Michel Platini! They plan to travel to Madrid tomorrow, and will arrive at roughly the same time as Celtic. Now, a run the Europa League is going to be enough of an embarrassment for a team that couldn't beat these jokers, but mark my words, this will turn into a farce (if it hasn't already) with that clown and his bunch of ineligible players stalking them all over the continent. What are they going to do for Celtic's Home matches? Stroll up to the entrance to Celtic Park and walk into the home dressing room? Sadly for us, Badr El-Kaddouri is cup tied so, yet again, Neil can't field the team he wants. If Big Dan is in the team on Thursday, I'll not be behind the sofa. I'll be hiding in the attic until January.
