Disaster?

I always ask my cantors, when they are fretting about a coming assignment, or obsessing over a perceived mistake -- were you praying? then it wasn't a mistake!

Gotta remember that... rehearsal tonight, the last before Christmas? a disaster.

Versatile baritone moved up to tenor and the basses fell apart on number after number.

Colds and sinus infections all around, no power from sopranos above the staff, alto who keeps the others honest, (intonation-wise) has laryngitis and the Bass WRE is in particularly robust voice.

The meat purchased for Christmas dinner, and the half & half for the vistors was left out all night.

No tree, no manger yet, our expected company is determined to drive through a storm OVER NIGHT, my expected replacement left my pastor in the lurch... yes, yes, the praying needs to start NOW and continue without ceasing.
