today i saw the coolest show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was edward scissorhands but it was a ballet. it was way different from the movie but that really doesn't really matter, it was still awesome. it has to be the best show i've ever seen. i thought it was gonna be a musical but it was a ballet which made it better. during the intermission i talked to the percussion guy and he says that he lost a lot of weight playing for them because he has to run from the timpini to the bells and back like a bunch of times. he let me see the music for the first half of the show and it looked really hard. like, in one part it was on the bells and it was like 32nd notes. i can barely play 16th notes on the bells. but then he played it and it didn't seem that hard. then i said that i gave him a lot of respect because playing percussion is hard espesially with everything he had to do. i mean, first it would be timpini and then he'd have to run to the bells in like 2 beats with a tempo of like 106. thats pretty much no time at all let me tellya. ya. i feel really special because i got to see the music. well, i did ask to see if i could understand it. i did for some parts but not a lot. it was really cool.
