soc_puppetAnd now I am officially giving the Quire its own tag, because this is kinda ridiculous.
The director was wearing green this week but still bears an uncanny resemblance to Dave Strider (link for those not familiar with Homestuck), so it clearly wasn't just the color. I can't believe I managed to convince myself I was exaggerating the resemblance before I got there this evening, because it is just mind boggling. I am totes going to track down a good (hopefully canon) picture of Dave, print it out, and get a picture of our director holding it, because I WILL NOT SUFFER(???) ALONE. On the plus side, it was somehow much less distracting this rehearsal, so there is that.
He did also dance for a few seconds this rehearsal, but I didn't get my camera ready on time to catch it, boo :/ I'll be working on that.
Anyway, fun part of rehearsal!
We were singing "Merry Christmas Darling" (which, yes, lots of fun to be had with the title alone) and got to the part about the logs on the fire. The line specifically goes: "The logs on the fire fill me with desire!" with lots of emphasis, and then almost as an afterthought add "To see you and to say," which is also good for much laughter.
Director: You know the writer meant to include that line exactly, because why else would they break the melody up so sharply there?
Quire: *murmurs of assent and light laughter*
Soprano C: Well, you know, it's all about the wood, right?
The entire Quire and the director proceeded to crack the fuck up for a couple minutes. Just when we were finally winding down, New Soprano R broke in with, "Oh! Now I get it!" which just set us all off again.
So yes. It was quite fun. Honestly, we should be taping these rehearsals for posterity or something.
