Probe im Festsaal

I spent a good 6 hours today at rehearsal. The first three we rehearsed Saint-Saëns Christmas Oratorio and then next three were for Beethoven's 9th. So long. And there is not nearly enough space in the Großer Festsaal at the Uni for the combined choir for Beethoven 9, so even with people off the risers and standing at various places in the general area we were still squished. It was also the first time with the full orchestra, which takes up half the room - its actually a pretty small "large room"...

Although it was far too long, I enjoyed myself and got to do homework while listening live to the first three movement's of Beethovens 9th. Can't beat that.
