I saw the SLSO percussion section meeting in Maggie Bailey’s office this morning. Maggie is operations manager. The SLSO percussion section consists of Richard Holmes, John Kasica and Tom Stubbs. They have been together as the SLSO percussion section for over thirty-five years. Maggie has been here two years. But she’s wily.
I saw John and Tom backstage on their way out afterward. I told them the sight of them together like that was “ominous.”
“Ominous!” John laughed. “I like that word.”
Tom paused and thought for a while. “More like insurrection.”
It’s going to be a fun season.
