Ensign Hicks To The Bridge!
In case anyone was in doubt about the lengths to which Sarah will go in fulfilling the duties of her assistant conductorship with our orchestra, the following cell phone photo, which I took backstage tonight during our pops concert, should serve as verification...
Yes, that is Sarah, wearing a Starfleet uniform, holding a tribble in her baton hand, and making the international sign for "I am a dweeby nerd." And yes: she was wearing this on stage, during the show, in full view of 2,450 people.
The best part, though, was when I stopped by her dressing room at intermission, as she had just finished changing into the Enterprise garb. At the sight of my raised eyebrow, she asked, "What? Does it look dorky?"
I just don't know how to even begin to answer that one...

it was a rhetorical question, really...and, Sam, I've kept a Tribble for you!
Excellent. My plan for galactic domination can now proceed...
Sarah, you look great! Are you a bridge officer or in the education department?
Did the Tribbles sing along?
What fun!
I don't know about the singing, but they seemed to multiply over the course of the intermission - when I left the podium after the first half, there were maybe 2 of them on my music stand, and by the beginning of the second half there were at least half a dozen!

You look so natural in your Star Trek uniform! ;-)
I'm looking forward to seeing the film (and hearing the music) on Thursday.
A horn player friend of mine (in Kansas City) warned me that the volume was WAAAY too loud in the theater where she saw the movie a few days ago. Was that your experience too?

cameron, it definitely was loud, but i always wear my special musician's earplugs to concerts and movies. highly recommend earplugs for this one!
