My chorus had the big dress rehearsal two nights ago.
If I didn't know better, I would use the word disaster.
But really it was just a bunch of problems that piled up.
We had the rehearsal all right, and covered all the repertoire.
It's just that:

our performance venue is a church where we have never sung before.
It's hidden away in an old neighborhood on a hill,
and it's almost impossible to find AFTER DARK
which is the time of both rehearsal and Friday performance.
I drove back and forth hunting for the right cross street.

And,
one of the accompanist string players came down with COVID-19
so the string quartet will be a string trio.

And,
our faithful pianist had to rush his ailing wife to the hospital
following dire results on a full CAT scan.

Well, you know what they say about the worst dress rehearsals . . .
